Overview

I am a Postdoctoral Associate in Health Informatics Division, Department of Healthcare Policy and Research, Weill Cornell Medical College, Cornell University. I got my Ph.D. in Control Science and Engineering from Xi'an Jiaotong university. I am broadly interested in applications of data mining, machine learning and deep learning in healthcare, biomedical knowledge graph mining, and bioinformatics.
