Biography
I am a Tenure Track Assistant Professor at The Wake Forest University School of Medicine. My research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and precision oncology.
We are dedicated to designing advanced machine learning algorithms for biomedical data analysis, primarily focusing on medical images, to improve medical decision-making.
Specifically, we focus on:
1) Quantitative radiology imaging for treatment planning and evaluating response to cancer therapies, such as radiation therapy and immunotherapy;
2) Computational pathology and H&E image analysis for important clinical tasks; and 3) Integration of multimodal data, including radiology, pathology, genomics, and clinical information..
We have Postdoc/RA openings in multimodal learning and medical image analysis. Please contact me if you are interested in this opportunity (Details).
We are looking for self-motivated Postdoc/PhD/RA/Interns, who are interested in medical AI, multimodal learning, computational pathology, and biomedical informatics.
Welcome to drop me an email with your CV..
