About
I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the School of Biomedical Engineering, ShanghaiTech University,
advised by Prof. Dinggang Shen .
I earned my B.Eng. from Wuhan University of Technology in 2022.
My research focuses on multimodal large language models (MLLMs) for medical image analysis and reasoning.
Since June 2025, I have been a research intern at United Imaging Intelligence (UII), where I work with
Dr. Dijia Wu
and Dr. Xi Ouyang
on MLLMs and contribute to the YuanZhi Foundation Model.
Beyond my main research focus, I'm also interested in a wide range of topics, including digital dentistry, cardiovascular disease, and EEG analysis,
where I've worked on projects myself, supervised junior graduate students, or collaborated with others.
Research Interests
Routine clinical care produces images, reports, and signals at scale, while expert annotations stay scarce and costly. My work runs along two lines that start from opposite sides of that gap:
Multimodal LLMs & Foundation Models
Medical image analysis and reasoning through vision-language pretraining and MLLM post-training, alongside self-supervised pretraining of foundation models on large-scale unlabeled clinical data.
Label-Efficient Learning
Segmentation and landmark detection with limited, weak, or partial annotations, using semi-supervised, weakly supervised, and partially supervised learning.
