Tongda Shen

Intro

My name is Tongda Shen. A great pleasure to meet you in my website. Now, please allow me to briefly introduce myself.
I am an undergraduate student at New York University. I finished my high school in China. While I enjoyed my high school life in Zhengzhou Foreign Language School, I also worked hard to build a strong knowledge foundation for my future academic career, where I believe I will shine. While I work hard to drain every last bit of knowledge from school, I did not forget the significance of practice and experiences. I put my maximum effort to participate in various of researches and projects. Although it is a tiring schedule, I get to learn and practice my research skills, critical thinking, organizing skills, leading skills, etc. And the happiness and satisfaction I gain from the journey is priceless.
Apart from the academic “me”, I am also a sports-lover, animal-lover, and traveler. Badminton is my favorite. I also play basketball and tennis regularly. My favorite basketball player is DeMar DeRozan, who fights against depression, and recently regains his brilliance at Chicago Bulls.
Again, it is a pleasure to have this chance to introduce myself to you. Feel free to contact me for anything related or anything I may help. It is always a nice surprise to hear from you.

Academics

My fields of interests mainly focus on psychology, neurology and engineering.
My academic journey starts when I became a volunteer in the rehabilitation center of the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.
I first understand how technology is able to change our life and, more importantly, to help patients. After I finished my volunteer work, I applied to be a participant in the Brain Science Lab of Zhengzhou University. Our team complete a brain-computer-interface based rehabilitation training system. Now, I am working on multiple projects, including the Flexible AI-enabled Mechatronic Systems Lab in NYU and Professor Xiaoke Chen’s lab at Stanford University.
