Hi! I am an incoming tenure-track assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, with multiple appointments & affiliations in the Perelman School of Medicine beginning in January 2025. I received my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Purdue University in August 2021. Since August 2021, I have been a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, working with Prof. James Zou and Prof. Thomas Montine.
My research focuses on AI/ML innovation and its application to medicine, with topics including vision-language foundation model for pathology (Nature Medicine'23 cover), human-AI collaboration (Nature BME'24), neurodegenerative diseases (Nature Communications'23), etc. My research has drawn wide public attention (including the New York Times, Stanford Magazine, and Stanford Scope) and has resulted in translational innovations. In 2022, my postdoc mentors and I co-founded nuclei.io — a human-in-the-loop AI platform for digital pathology. It was selected as one of only 9 Stanford Catalyst 2023 cohort innovations.
I am very fortunate to work with many amazing students and researchers. We are always looking for talented folks to join us. Feel free to contact me or visit Openings if you are interested to learn more about our research!
