About me
I am the co-founder of PediaMed AI, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing AI technologies for pediatrics. Currently, I am a Ph.D. student at the Health Care Engineering Systems Center at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. James M. Rehg and Prof. Jimeng Sun.
Before starting my Ph.D., I gained industry experience as a Machine Learning Engineer at SambaNova Systems and Tencent, where I worked on cutting-edge AI solutions for autonomous driving and image/video generation. My research focuses on developing innovative AI-driven approaches such as Vision Language Models to improve both autonomous driving and healthcare.
