Biography

I am currently a senior post-doctoral research fellow at the Department of Biomedical Informatics, Harvard Medical School, where I am working with Prof. Pranav Rajpurkar. I lead the ReXplain project, which aims to bridging AI for patient-centered understanding. I also co-lead the Medical AI Bootcamp (for Harvard, Stanford, and MIT students and medical doctors all around the world). I have also had pleasure working with Prof. Hao Chen at HKUST. I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the CSE department, CUHK, advised by Prof. HENG Pheng-Ann and Prof. WONG, Tien-Tsin. Previously, I obtained my B.Sc. degree from the CSE department, CUHK.


My research interest lies broadly in the intersection of AI and healthcare. Currently, I am particularly interested in developing and applying foundation models for multimodal biomedical data analysis to bridging AI, patients, and doctors.
