Biography
The University of Hong Kong (HKU)
I am an assistant professor at The University of Hong Kong. My research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and healthcare. I am dedicated to designing advanced machine learning algorithms for biomedical data analysis, with a primary focus on medical images. Specifically, we focus on: 1) developing multi-modal learning algorithms to intergrate multi-scale heterogeneous biomedical data for disease prevention, diagnosis, and prognosis; 2) building real-world learning systems to learn reliable, generalizable, and fair representations from imperfect medical data; and 3) developing causality-based learning algorithms to improve its interpretability for healthcare problems.
Before joining HKU, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford University, working with Prof. Lei Xing. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in CSE, The Chinese University of Hong Kong in July 2019 and the B.Eng degree in CS, Zhejiang University in 2015.
