I am a postdoctoral research fellow in A/Prof Arnold Lining Ju’s group at the School of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, The University of Sydney. I obtained my PhD degree from the School of Computer Science, USYD, supervised by Prof Dacheng Tao and Dr Jing Zhang, 2021-2024. I obtained my Master’s degree from Tsinghua University, supervised by A/Prof Bo Yuan and worked closely with Prof Xiu Li, 2017-2020.
My research interests lie in artificial intelligence, computer vision, autonomous driving, AI for biomedical engineering, and digital healthcare.
I am passionate about advancing multidisciplinary research powered by AI and am always open to collaboration, lecturing, and building meaningful connections. Please feel free to reach out!
