Yongliang Cen is a research fellow with CMC. Recently graduated from Boston University with a BA/MS degree in Biology on the pre-med track. He’s been practicing meditation daily for the past six years, and it has shaped how he approaches both life and learning. He’s especially curious about how mindfulness and scientific research can work together to bring balance to our restless daily life.

Yongliang, also loves exploring research questions, particularly those that connect the brain, health, and well-being. Outside of academics and mindfulness, he enjoys practicing calligraphy and drawing, where I find a creative “flow” that feels very similar to meditation.
