Welcome to my website! I am an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School, working in the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital. My research focuses on medical image acquisition and reconstruction, image analysis and processing, and physiological modeling on magnetic resonance (MR), molecular, and optical imaging. My recent interest also includes developing artificial intelligence methods to improve imaging speed and robustness and automate clinical imaging workflow.
More about MyLab@Harvard
Before joining Harvard in 2020, I was an Assistant Scientist in Radiology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 2015 to 2019, working on translational imaging projects spanning several clinical topics. In 2015, I received my Ph.D. in Medical Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research focused on developing new MR pulse sequences and optimizing imaging biomarkers for improved musculoskeletal and neural tissue assessment. In 2011, I received my M.Sc. in Medical Biophysics from Western University, Canada, where my research focused on improving breast MR imaging using machine learning. In 2008, I received my B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University, China.
My specific research interests:
- Artificial intelligence for medical imaging
- Rapid MR acquisition and reconstruction, quantitative MR imaging
- Molecular imaging and nuclear medicine
- Medical image analysis and bioinformatics
- High-performance computing, parallel computing, cloud computing
