I began my scientific training as a master’s student in the laboratory of Dr. Chih-Yung Tang at National Taiwan University where I investigated biophysical properties of voltage-gated K+ channels (Eag and Erg) and identified a novel role of the N terminus in voltage-dependent inactivation that plays an important role in the cardiac delayed rectifier K+ current and in regulating the intrinsic electrophysiological property of several neuron types. 

After my master’s study, I pursued my Ph.D. in the oculomotor laboratory of Dr. Melody Ying-Yu Huang at the University Hospital of Zurich (Neuroscience Center of Zurich, UZH and ETH Zurich), where I discovered and characterized an adaptive oculomotor behavior in larval zebrafish, linking it to human foveal hypoplasia and infantile nystagmus syndrome. 

As a postdoc with Dr. Christian Hansel at University of Chicago, I investigated cerebellar plasticity in intact, awake mice. I first demonstrated that Purkinje cell receptive fields undergo plasticity through both synaptic and intrinsic mechanisms, a finding recognized with the SfN Trainee Professional Development Award. In a separate study, I showed that predictive parallel fiber ramping activity facilitates LTD in the in vivo cerebellum, for which I received the JNS Meeting Award from SfN.
