I'm a senior AI scientist in Digital Technology and Innovation (DTI) at Siemens Healthineers. Before that, I finished my Ph.D. dissertation defense at Vanderbilt University, focusing on artificial intelligence in healthcare (specifically Lung Cancer Risk Estimation), and advised by Prof. Bennett Landman. I have closely worked with Dr. Yuankai Huo, statistician Dr. Thomas Lasko, and lung cancer clinical experts Dr. Pierre Massion & Dr. Kim Sandler. I have finished an exciting internship in Siemens Healthineers mentored by Dr. Zhoubing Xu and Dr. Sasa Grbic.

I completed my Master's degree at Tsinghua Unversity, focused on computer vision. During my master's period, I am very fortunate to have spent time at Tencent YouTu x-lab which was lead by Prof. Jiaya Jia, and Imsight Technology working with Dr. Hao Chen.

I'm broadly interested in artificial intelligence methodology and driven by a passion for advancing clinical domains with AI. My current focus on advanced radiotherapy using various AI technologies, such as generative models and reinforcement learning, reflects my dedication to advancing patient care.
