Hi! I am a third-year undergraduate student majoring in Applied Artificial Intelligence at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). I will be at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign during 2025 Spring.

I am interested in AI for Healthcare. I am currently focused on building interpretable and robust EHR (Electronic Health Records) models with deep connection to clinical domain knowledge enhancement. I don't think that purely applying tuned-LLMs would bring us close to solving the question. I am working on graph-based and multimodal approaches.

I love to discuss new ideas related to or beyond those topics and methods. Please email me to start a chat if you are interested.

I am fortunate to be guided by a number of great mentors whose words and experiences have helped me embark on this great journey in research. Particularly, Professor Lequan Yu and Mr. Fuying Wang have provided me with a lot of support.
