ABOUT ME: I am a second-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University. I am a member of the Lions Vision Research & Rehab Center, Wilmer Eye Institute and Artificial Intelligence for Engineering and Medicine Lab. I am advised by Dr. Yingzi Xiong and Prof. Rama Chellappa. My research interest lies in multi-modality fusion, 2D and 3D segmentation, as well as human-computer interaction, especially in clinical applications.
