Biography

Hello! Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Aghaeepour Lab. Prior to this position, I completed my Ph.D. working with Petar Djurić in Electrical Engineering at Stony Brook University in New York, U.S. Additionally, I hold an M.S. in Signal and Information Processing and a B.S. in Communications Engineering from Jiangnan University in Wuxi, China. I was a visiting graduate student at the University of Missouri in Columbia, U.S. during the final year of my master’s studies.

For pursuing the master’s degree, my research journey began in the field of statistical signal processing, with a specific focus on its applications for target localization and tracking.  Upon beginning my Ph.D. studies, my research spectrum shifted to Bayesian machine learning and its applications in biomedicine. Specifically, I contributed to the development of machine learning (ML) algorithms for addressing challenges in anomaly detection and imbalanced classification, using nonparametric Gaussian process models. We aim to apply novel ML methods for predicting the health status of fetal well-being during the perinatal period. Additionally, I also studied cerebral blood dynamics by developing and simulating a circuit model using arterial blood pressure and intracranial pressure data from experimental animals.

My previous research experience has led me to the fascinating intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and medicine. I believe that by leveraging cutting-edge studies in AI and ML, we can explore solutions to numerous modern medical challenges, including early disease prediction and personalized medical interventions. As a postdoc at the Aghaeepour Lab, I am continually working in data-driven neonatal research. My focus lies in analyzing bedside monitoring waveforms and electronic health record data to understand their correlations with adverse conditions in premature infants, and to explore effective solutions that can enhance the outcomes for these vulnerable patients.

Play

I love both science and art. Apart from my academic pursuits, I enjoy various artistic hobbies, including playing piano (classical music), photography, and painting. I have a YouTube channel to share some of my small piano pieces. I also deeply love many Chinese traditional arts, such as calligraphy, seal carving, origami (zhe zhi), and paper cutting.
