Overview
My professional interests span the full spectrum of cardiac electrophysiology, with a particular focus on catheter ablation of atrial tachyarrhythmias, device therapy for heart rhythm disorders, and the diagnosis and management of inherited arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy. I enjoy spending quality time with my family, cooking traditional Chinese dishes, and appreciating the rich cultural heritage of Peking Opera. These activities keep me grounded and connected to my roots, providing a fulfilling balance to my professional life.
