Biography

I am now a 3rd-year PhD candidate at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), under the supervision of Prof. Hao Chen and Prof. Kwang-Ting (Tim) Cheng (IEEE Fellow). Before that, I was a full-time researcher in Jarvis Lab at Tencent directed by Dr. Yefeng Zheng (IEEE Fellow). I received my M.E. and B.E. degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2020 and 2016 respectively, under the supervision of Prof. Xin Yang. I also served as a volunteer teacher at Laifeng Middle School Attached to CCNU in 2016-2017.

My research interests include medical image analysis and deep learning. Recently, I focus on: 1) Label-efficient learning algorithms with human-in-the-loop; 2) Computer-aided-diagnosis systems (CADX) considering efficiency, scalability, and accessibility.
