About
My research focuses on monitoring the behaviour and welfare of dairy cows on an individual level with the use of meta-analysis. My current research project includes analyzing the feeding behaviours and dominant hierarchy of dairy cows under various contexts. Additionally, I have created a cyborg (a combination of human and robot) to conduct lameness assessment of dairy cows through the use of Amazon MTurk.
I grew up in Yantai, China. My wish to make a difference for animals in China drove me to North America to learn more about animal knowledge and specifically animal welfare. I chose to come to UBC because I love exploring new opportunities and it’s such a pleasure to be able to work with pioneers in animal welfare science.
