Gang grew up in an inland province in China, and in 2007 completed his undergraduate degree in Electronic Information/Communication Engineering at Nanchang Aeronautical University, China. While working on his Bachelor's of Engineering and for some time after, he became interested in healthcare technologies due to family background. He had been thinking about how people's physiological data can be monitored in a real-time manner and accordingly some targeted interventions can be designed and developed. Intrigued by this, he decided to continue his education at Pusan National University at Busan, South Korea where he completed a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering in 2010. There he studied how to develop surface electromyography (EMG) sensor system and how to apply it to people's negative emotion recognition from the perspective of the emotional motor system. This research experience made him realized that he was interested in pursuing a career in academia. Eager to see how people's brain works, Gang worked towards his PhD under the mentorship of Wan-Young Chung in the School of Electronic Engineering at the Pukyong National University at the same city, Busan. His research developed a fully wearable and AI-driven neuromodulation system to detect and intervene in driver's drowsiness. Now he is a postdoc research associate at the University of Glasgow. He is designing and developing novel brain monitoring and intervention tools to impact the cognitive and mental health aspects of consumer VR users.
