I obtained my Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering (BME) from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in June 2024. Before that, I got my B.E. degree from USTC in 2019.

My primary research interests lie in computational pathology, focusing on the quantitative analysis of pathology images. I am dedicated to developing advanced models with the long-term goal of reducing pathologists’ workload and improving patients’ survival. I have published 5+ papers with .

I am actively seeking a PostDoc or Research Associate position in computational pathology starting in the summer of 2024. Feel free to Email me if you are interested in my research.

My research interest includes:

Computational Pathology
Pathology Image Analysis
Medical Image Analysis
