Office: 06-01A, E7 Building, NUS, Singapore 119276

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS). Before joining NUS, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, from 2023 to 2025, and a Junior Research Fellow at Kellogg College in 2025. I received my Ph.D. degree with Distinction in 2023 and my B.Eng. degree in 2018, both from the Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University.

My research advances knowledge-centric artificial intelligence (AI) for healthcare by developing methods grounded in medical knowledge, with the ultimate goal of enabling trustworthy decision support across personalized, population, and mobile health to benefit individuals, communities, and healthcare systems.

I am actively looking for self-motivated Ph.D. students, postdoctoral researchers, research assistants, and visiting students to join my group. Prospective applicants and NUS students interested in research opportunities are welcome to email me with your CV.
