  • I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at School of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Incubation Institute, Fudan University, co-advised by Prof. Yuan Qi and Prof. Yuan Cheng. Before that, I obtained Bachelor's degree and Master's degree from the School of Biological Science and Medical Engineering, Beihang University in 2020 and 2023, advised by Prof. Jicong Zhang.
  • Research Interests

    My research interests lie in the interdisciplinary field of artificial intelligence and healthcare. My long-term research goal is to build foundation and generalized AI models to unlock new possibilities in medical practice. I have published 10+ papers in prestigious conferences and journals and these works were cited 2000+ times. Currently, my research direction encompasses following focuses. 1) Developing foundation models applicable for molecular imaging applications. 2) Adapting visual/language foundation models for medical image analysis. 3) Deploying AI techniques in real-world biomedicine and healthcare scenarios. I strongly believe in the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and its potential in fostering influential research outcomes. If you are interested in collaborating on research projects, offering internship opportunities or exchange programs, I would be thrilled to connect with you.
