I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), supervised by Prof. Shi Gu at the Brain and Intelligence Lab. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology (Big Data) from Xidian University in 2020.
My research interests include multimodal learning, medical imaging, explainable AI, concept bottleneck models, vision-language models, and image registration. I was a research intern at the Medical AI Lab of Alibaba DAMO Academy and at Inclusion AI, Ant Group.
