Assistant Professor

Specialty field：Cognitive Neuroscience

We have different kinds of interpersonal relationships in our daily lives. Among them, romantic relationships are one of the closest relationships, which have attracted evolutionary and social psychologists. I have been working on its cognitive and neural mechanisms using psychological experiments and neuroimaging techniques; specifically, I am interested in how we build and maintain the exclusive and long-term relationship with a significant other.
