About me

  • I am a post-doctoral researcher in neuroepidemiology at the Aging Research Center (ARC) working under the supervision of Professor Weili Xu. My research focuses on the connection between cardiovascular and metabolic disorders and brain/cognitive health. Specifically, I am interested in the association between cardiometabolic factors (alone and in combination) and cognitive decline, dementia, and the development of different brain pathologies, and whether this can be mitigated by modifiable lifestyle factors.
