Biography

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Department of Computing, Imperial College London under the supervision of A/Prof. Wenjia Bai. Before joining Imperial, I obtained Master’s degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Bachelor’s degree at Beihang University. I worked as a research intern in Deepwise from December 2021 to June 2022, and in Alibaba DAMO Academy from November 2024 to Octorber 2025.

My research interests lies in generative models and their applications in medical image analysis, including self-supervised learning, modality synthesis and super-resolution in medical images. I am also working on the development of multi-modal analysis, segmentation, and pretraining algorithms for medical images.
