I am a first-year Ph.D. student at Columbia University, where I conduct research in the Laboratory of AI & Biomedical Science (LABS) under the supervision of Prof. Junhao Wen. Prior to joining Columbia, I completed my master's degree at Xiamen University under the supervision of Prof. Rongshan Yu.
My research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence and biomedical science, with a particular focus on foundation models, generative AI, and multimodal learning for biomedical applications.
