Short Bio

​I am currently a Ph.D. student in the School of Computation, Information and Technology,  Technical University of Munich, supervised by Prof. Julia Schnabel. I am funded by the Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML). Previously, I received the M. Eng. degree from University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences , under the supervison from Prof. Ying Hu.

My research focused on the intersection of deep learning and healthcare, particularly in the analysis of medical images. My passion lies in improving the practicality of deep learning algorithms, with a primary focus on Vision and Language models, Cross-Modality Generation, and Multi-Modality Learning. Through my work in these areas, I aim to advance deep learning techniques and their transformative impact on healthcare.
