About Me

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR) at Johns Hopkins University (JHU), and a special volunteer at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Prior to my postdoc, I received Ph.D. in Computer Science from JHU in 2024, advised by Dr. Emad Boctor, Dr. Martin Pomper, Dr. Russell Taylor, and Dr. Webster Stayman. During my Ph.D. since 2019, I was also a predoctoral fellow at NIH mentored by Dr. Bradford Wood, Dr. Sheng Xu, and Dr. Peter Pinto. I received Master in Robotics from JHU in 2018, and Bachelor in Electronic Information Engineering along with a minor in the Advanced Honor Class for Engineering Education (ACEE) from Chu Kochen Honors College at Zhejiang University (ZJU) in 2016.

Research Interests

I am broadly interested in image formation, image reconstruction, image analysis, and robotics with applications to two emerging biomedical acoustic imaging modalities - photoacoustic imaging and ultrasound tomography. By prototyping the instrumentation, developing new imaging formation methods, and investigating algorithms for better image quality, I employ photoacoustic imaging and ultrasound tomography to discover new quantitative parameters for cancer detection. I am currently focusing on prostate cancer and breast cancer.
