I am a Postdoc at Harvard Medical School working with Dr. Kun-Hsing Yu. 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 .

My research interest includes:

  • Computational Pathology
  • Pathology Image Analysis
  • Medical Image Analysis
