Research

Health problems rarely admit of a single fixed answer; they vary across individuals, shift over time, and depend on context that no static model can fully anticipate. Addressing this uncertainty demands AI systems that learn from real-world feedback and adapt to the individual they serve. To this aim, We are building AI that co-evolves with the individual it serves. These systems are not trained once and deployed unchanged; they continuously develop through interaction, shaped by the experiences, preferences, and needs of the people they support.

Biography

I joined Tsinghua University as a tenure-track assistant professor and principal investigator in biomedical AI. Previously, I served as the founding member and head of AI systems at a2z Radiology AI, and as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University with Professor Pranav Rajpurkar. I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Hong Kong, advised by Professor Yizhou Yu. I spent two years at Tencent as a research scientist, and received degrees from Nanjing University and Wuhan University.
