About me

I am an undergraduate at Zhiyuan college, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, majoring in mathematics.

Since high school I've been curious about human brain. I learned about the field of computational neuroscience by chance and I fell in love with it at first glance. My current works mainly focus on the Markovian Spiking Neural Network framework. I joined Lab of Computational Neuroscience of our school in 2022. My advisor is Prof. Douglas Zhou. I was a research intern at Cortexlab supervised by Prof. Kenneth Harris and Dr. Valentin Schmutz when I was on exchange at UCL. I am working with Prof. Zhuo-Cheng Xiao at NYU Shanghai for my undergraduate thesis.

Besides neuroscience, my interests also lie in pure and applied mathematics, statistics, information theory, machine learning, applied physics, and all other tools to help me understand the mechanism of human brain. I also love origami, playing drums and classical music.

You can reach me via email: newtonpula@sjtu.edu.cn. I was an affiliate BASc student at University College London (UCL) in the spring of 2024. From Sep 2024 on, I am an visiting student at NYU Shanghai. Also contact me at: yixiao.feng.23@alumni.ucl.ac.uk and yf2887@nyu.edu.

By the way, Isaac Newton is my favorite scientist, and pula is just a meaningless suffix.
