I am a Ph. D student in UCLA, advised by Prof. Yang Yang in Materials Science and Engineering and Prof. Song Li in Bioengineering Deparment. Before entering UCLA, I received my bachelor degree of Materials Science and Engineering from Tsinghua University in July, 2018. 

I am currently interested in exploring novel materials and implantable devices for drug delivery.
