About me

I am currently a PhD student at the University of Edinburgh, supervised by Prof. Timothy Hospedales and Dr. Yongxin Yang, where I am funded by UKRI CDT in Biomedical AI. I obtained my BSc in computer science from Tongji University, in 2021.

I am broadly interested in machine learning and its applications in biomedicine, especially with multi-modal learning and large vision-language models. Feel free to drop me an email for potential collaborations!

👉 I am actively looking for a research intern position this year. Shoot me an email if you think I am a good fit! (Flexible to anywhere/anytime)

Research Interests

• Machine Learning: Multimodal Learning, Algorithmic Fairness, Self-supervised Learning.
• AI4Healthcare: Computational Biology, Medical Imaging.
