I am a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science and Engineering Department, University of Connecticut. My advisor is Prof. Jinbo Bi.

My primary research interests are in deep learning, machine learning and pattern recognition using large-scale datasets, with an emphasis on healthcare informatics, online social networks, cheminformatics and bioinformatics.

Experience

Research Assistant | University of Connecticut

10/2017 - Present

  • Designed deep learning, machine learning methods to improve drug discovery & precision medicine.
  • Constructed the graph convolutional networks on graphs for node embedding and graph embedding.
  • Created various Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) models on domain mappings, missing imputation, etc.
  • Developed multi-view and multi-task algorithms that automatically detect disorder problems using daily living datasets.
  • Explored contextual embedding of medical concepts from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) with Word2vec.
