About

I am a second-year PhD candidate in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, School of Clinical Medicine, at the University of Cambridge. I am supervised by Prof. Chao Li, Prof. Stephen Price, and co-supervised by Prof. Lequan Yu.

Before joining Cambridge, I was a full-time research assistant in the Department of Pathology, School of Clinical Medicine, at the University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Maximus Yeung. I also work closely with Prof. Zhen Chen on medical image analysis.

My research focuses on multimodal learning in medicine, computational pathology, and medical image analysis, with the goal of advancing translational AI. I received my MSc in Multimedia Information Technology from City University of Hong Kong and my B.E. in Digital Media Technology from Beijing Language and Culture University.
