I received my BA in Medicine in 2004 from Peking University Health Science Center in Beijing, China. I received my MA and Ph.D. in Psychology in 2007 and 2010 from Beijing Normal University. In my PhD dissertation, I investigated brain plasticity of Chinese dyslexic children before and after intervention. From July 2010 onwards, I became a research assistant of Professor Qingfang Zhang's group in the Institute of Psychology at Chinese Academy of Sciences.
