Biography

I am currently an Algorithm Expert (Senior Research Scientist) at the Alibaba DAMO Academy. I received my Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2025, advised by Prof. Hongliang Ren and Prof. Jiewen Lai, with thesis committee members Prof. Tan Lee, Prof. Qi Dou, and Prof. S. Kevin Zhou. During my Ph.D. study, I was a visiting student at Technical University of Munich (TUM), advised by Prof. Nassir Navab; and at The University of Sydney (USYD), advised by Prof. Luping Zhou. Previously, I received the B. Sc. degree in Opto-Electronics Information Science and Engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) in 2021, advised by Prof. Kun Gao. I am fortunate to have been working with Prof. Mobarak I. Hoque (UoM), Prof. Zhongliang Jiang (HKU), and Yanheng Li (CityU HK).

My research interests include artificial intelligence and its applications in medical image computing, human-robot interaction, and surgical data science. I recently work on vision-language understanding and generation.
