About me
My research aims to advance healthcare through the application of cutting-edge technology.
With a background bridging academic research and industrial innovation, I have cultivated a diverse interdisciplinary perspective that encompasses computational neuroscience, robotics, digital health, and AI. My work involves not only the rigorous development and validation of AI models but also leading the design and execution of clinical research. Currently, I am focused on leveraging AI technologies to address clinical challenges in CT colonography.
