About Me

I am an Assistant Professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine (WFUSoM). Before joining WFUSoM, I was a Postdocctoral fellow at Simon Fraser University. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Medical and Biomedical Imaging from University College London, and M.Phil/B.Eng degree from The University of Hong Kong.

Research Interest

My research interest is in the development and translation of emerging biomedical informatics and machine-learning and AI-driven approaches to the current medical image and computational anatomy modeling in areas such as neuroimaging.

My specific research expertise is in computational neuroanatomy and the development of medical-imaging-based pathological biomarkers for disease prediction and prevention. My primary research interest is to derive computer-assistant diagnosis techniques that can be translated into clinical practice using data-driven, statistical, and machine-learning-based methods.

I have developed several well-validated computational frameworks for studying neurodegenerative diseases on image modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), and optical coherent tomography (OCT), to drive the translation of quantitative computational neuroanatomy methods into both clinical environments and preclinical small animal studies.

Recruiting & Opportunities

Position are openning for Postdoctoral Fellow (T32) and PhD student (F30).

• Neuroimage genomics for Alzheimer’s Disease and related Dementia using Multi-Modal Deep Learning.

I am also recruting highly motivated students to conduct research in area including:

• Computational Neuroanatomy using Graph Convolutional Network (GCN)
• Genomic-based deep learning using Natual Language Processing (NLP) models
• Multiomic analaysis explainable graph neural network to cluster and predict to age-gelated biological process mechanisms.

• Explainable AI methods to validate, understand and visualize machine learning models in medical applications to facilitate clinical translation.
