Hi! The Visitor		陈科（Ke Chen）
		Research Interests
		Visual signal integration in neurocircuit mechanisms & neuropsychiatric disorders

		Biography
		He received his bachelor degree (BME) in HuaZhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2003. Then he continued his study in University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), and earned degrees in BME (M.S. 2006; Ph.D. 2012). During his graduate study, his research was mainly involved in neural modeling (M.S., Cortico-thalamic model) and electroneurophysiology in cat primary visual cortex (Ph.D, Non-classical Receptive Field). After graduation, he was appointed as a teaching fellow in UESTC in 2013. Then he visited the City University of HongKong (CityU) as a visiting scholar (2014.9-2014.12) in 2014 and visited the University of Arizona as a Postdoctoral Fellow (2016.11-2017.11) in 2016.
