I am the founder and CEO of SomaBeats Health, a company dedicated to making behavioral health interventions effortless so that they can seamlessly integrate with modern lifestyles. Mindless Interventions was my research motto during Ph.D. years and is SomaBeat’s DNA.

I got my Ph.D. at Cornell University, under the guidance of professors Tanzeem Choudhury, Qian Yang, and Rana Zadeh at Cornell Tech. In the past, I was advised by Dr. Wanda Pratt and Dr. Shwetak Patel from the University of Washington. I’ve also worked in the neuroscience labs and the Invention Studio at Georgia Tech, Meta Reality Labs, and the MakerLab at Cornell Tech.

I’m a generalist with focus. I draw inspiration from my expertise in cognitive neuroscience, behavioral science, biomedical engineering, and human-AI interactions. I build devices, develop AI architecture, design behavioral experiments, and deploy systems for preclinical and clinical validations. When I’m not building my company or doing research, I serve as the founder and lead producer of MoonWave Labs, an indie game studio creating folklore-core adventure games that snap back to the 2000-2010s Chinese society and my cultural origin, the Manchu people.
