About
I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in Biomedical Engineering at Yale University, advised by Prof. Nicha C. Dvornek. I also collaborate with Prof. John Onofrey.
I am currently a Ph.D. Software Engineering Intern with the GenMedia Group at Google Cloud, where I work on MLLM autorater development for video generation. Previously, I completed research internships at Microsoft Research Asia and Tencent AI Lab.
I received a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Michigan, where I worked with Prof. Andrew Owens, and a bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. My research focuses on questions with clear real-world and clinical relevance.
