PhD candidate, Peking University Institute of Mental Health (Sixth Hospital)
Zhang is currently pursuing his studies at the Peking University Institute of Mental Health, with a primary research focus on exploring the decision-making characteristics of elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment and early-stage dementia patients through cognitive-behavioral and EEG technologies. Besides, Zhang is also involved in multiple scientific research projects, such as the Brain Project and the National Natural Science Foundation of China projects. He was awarded by National Scholarship in 2021, and National Inspirational Scholarship in 2017.
