Dr. Huang is currently a principle investigator and Professor of the GHMICR Institute. He got his Ph.D. from Jinan University in 2018. Dr. Huang’s research is focused on the non-imaging functions of light, covering disciplines including elucidating the function and neural mechanism of light in the modulation of mood-related behaviors, exploring the neural mechanism of co-morbid between mood and sleep disorder, He has published first-authored papers on high impact journals including Neuron, Nature Communications, and Advanced Science. His studies were supported by several grants, including National Natural Science Founding, China Postdoctoral Science Foundation, Guangdong Natural Science Foundation.
