About
I am currently a postdoc associate of linguistics department at University of Florida and adjunct assistant professor (LAC) of anthropology department at University of New Mexico.
As a biological anthropologist, I use mixed methods, modeling, social network science and evolutionary perspective to explore human behavior and health in the past and the contemporary world. I am interested in human cooperation pattern and their social structure.
As an interdisplinary scientist, I explore how human connections, behavior, and cognition interact with each other.
I have two cats, Tuna and Luna, they are twin sisters.
