Hometown: China

Education/background:  M.S.

Years in the lab: 1 year

I work as a data analyst at the lab. I work on projects focusing on identifying risk factors related to cardiovascular disease and understanding how biological sex differences, especially how female-specific factors, contribute to heart diseases. I am currently working on characterizing sex differences in circulating eicosanoid profiles concerning the risk of CVD and exploring the influence of menopause on this risk. Another project I am part of is examining the acquisition and integration of reproductive history in cardiovascular care settings with the ultimate goal of enhancing women’s cardiovascular health.

Favorite hobbies/interests outside of work: Outside of work I enjoy hiking and exploring new places with my friends.
