Background

Dr. Peng-Hu Wei was born in Qujing City, Yunnan Province, and completed his senior high school studies in Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. From 2005.09 to 2015.07, he successfully completed undergraduate to doctoral studies at Shanxi Medical University and Capital Medical University and obtained his M.D. & Ph.D. degree. From 2015.08 to 2017.07, Dr. Wei finished his postdoctoral studies at the neurosurgery department, PLA general hospital. From 2017 till now, he becomes a member of the functional neurosurgical team. In 2018, Dr. Wei participated in the international "walk again project"(WAP) and received his WAP training program in Brazil, focused on decoding the EEG and physiological signal. Now he mainly focused on brain network theories of epilepsy and robotic neurosurgeries.
