Hi, welcome to my corner of the Internet!

I was born in Dongguan, China. After spending eighteen years of my life there, I was admitted to University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC, 电子科技大学) when I was 18 years old. Thereafter, I’ve spent three years at the Innovation Center of UESTC, discovering my research interest with Prof. Liang-Jian Deng. In 2022, I was admitted to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST, 香港科技大學) under Dr. Hao Chen’s supervision in the HKUST SMART (Scalable Medical Analysis, Reasoning and Treatment) Lab. Now I am focusing on the research of pathology image analysis and discovering the potential of AI in healthcare.
