Ni Feng's research lies at the intersection of behavior, genes, hormones, and neurobiology. She has worked with dancing birds, singing fish, and hibernating mammals. The Feng Lab is broadly interested in behavioral and neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying mammalian hibernation, using the thirteen-lined ground squirrel as a model system. Prof. Feng teaches "The Neuroscience of Basis Surival" (BIOL/NS&B 373) in the spring and "Comparative Animal Behavior" (BIOL/NS&B 254) in the fall. 

Dr. Feng received her BS from UCLA with a major in Biology and a minor in Art History. She obtained her PhD in Neurobiology and Behavior from Cornell University, and completed postdoctoral research at the Yale School of Medicine. Currently, she is an assistant professor at Wesleyan University in the Biology Department, the Neuroscience and Behavior program, and the College of Integrative Sciences.
