About
Postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University with Prof. Ruijiang Li, developing AI foundation models for biomedicine, with a focus on computational pathology, radiology, and spatial biology. I received my PhD from HKU MMLab in 2024, advised by Prof. Ping Luo. My work spans generative models, vision-language models, and AI agents, translating frontier AI methods into clinically impactful tools for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and biomedical discovery.
