I am an incoming Ph.D. student at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Prof. Alan Yuille at the Computational Cognition, Vision, and Learning lab (CCVL). My research focuses on (medical) computer vision.

I received my M.S. in ECE (Machine Learning and Data Science) from the University of Southern California in 2025, where I also worked on Robotics and VLA research with Prof. Yue Wang. I also collaborate with Mayo Clinic on Medical Pathology research with Dr. Jansen N Seheult.

Previously, I worked on open-vocabulary 3D object detection at the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences at Tsinghua University with Prof. Li Yi (Eric). I earned my B.S. in Electronic Information Engineering from Dalian University of Technology.
