About
I am a PhD student at the SMART Lab, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, advised by Prof. Hao Chen. Prior to this, I obtained my BSc degree in Applied Mathematics from Harbin Institute of Technology (Weihai).
My current research focuses on developing powerful vision and vision-language foundation models for computational pathology. In the meantime, I'm actively collaborating with clinicians and pathologists to integrate our model into real-world diagnostic workflow.
