As a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Hong Kong Baptist University, I engage in advancing the frontiers of knowledge in machine learning as applied to healthcare data analytics. Prior to my current role, I earned my Ph.D. degree and subsequently served as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow, both under the supervision of Prof. William K. Cheung. My academic journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Thermal Energy and Power Engineering from the South China University of Technology. I was a visiting PhD student at the College of Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology, where I had the privilege of working with Prof. Jimeng Sun between September 2019 and February 2020.

My research primarily focuses on machine learning for high-dimensional healthcare data analytics. I have a keen interest in computational phenotyping and predictive analytics for large-scale multi-modal clinical data, encompassing electronic health records (EHR), medical images, and clinical notes. I regularly serve as a program committee member and reviewer for prestigious international conferences and journals, such as AAAI, NeurIPS, ICLR, KDD, and IJCAI.

I currently have several research positions available. Please see this post for details.
