Jizheng Dong
Hello, I am Jizheng Dong, a Computer Science PhD student at New York University's Tandon School of Engineering, under the supervision of Professor Erdem Varol.
Prior to joining NYU, I had the privilege of working as a research assistant in the system neuroscience lab of Professor
Yi Sun at Westlake University. Before that, I completed my undergraduate studies at Nanjing University, majoring in Applied Mathematics.
My research interests encompass a wide range of topics, including the analysis and modeling of animal behavior, neural activity, connectome, and transcriptome. Currently, I am working on a project that investigates the RNA basis for the neural connections of C. elegans and Drosophila.

Recent Research
In this project, we integrate single cell resolution EM connectomics data with single cell resolution genomics to discover the relationship between gene expression and circuit connectivity.
Past Research
A fruit fly displays special standing
The project aims for the development of equipment for adaptive recording and analysis of 3D behavior in the free-behaving fruit fly.
How to improve the resolution for behavior recording is an important problem in systems neuroscience. To address this question, we plan to build equipment to track the free-behaving animals. This could be used for behavioral analysis and optical stimulation in brain areas.
Compared to the head-injured or restricted state under which many behavior experiments are performed, fruit fly display lots of behaviors that are not even observed when they are head-fixed, such as special standing and rolling. The existing results have shown that our equipment is valuable.
The project aims to locale and classify surface defects on a steel product.
It is a theoretical work. Please refer to this document for details.
It can auto arrange the paper reference into a csv, including author, title, year. Please see pdf_ref_spyder for details.
