About Yazhou

I am a senior student majoring in BME and CS at the University of Hong Kong. In 2023, I am a visiting student at UC Berkeley. I am working on theoretical neuroscience at the Redwood Theoretical Neuroscience Center. (How to pronounce “Yazhou”(雅洲): like “Ya-Joe”)

I am deeply passionate about understanding how the brain works. My research interests include recognition and attention in visual system, neural manifold learning, face recognition (Fun fact: Yazhou has face agnosia 😆), and neuromodulation.

If you are a potential collaborator with similar interests, feel free to email me at yazhou@berkeley.edu. I am open to discussing my current projects or exploring potential cooperation.
