Publishing paper is like updating status in Facebook, citations are the 'likes'.

PhD Tips

Even a nature publication cannot get you a sexy girl-friend.

PhD Tips

An active social life and a good PhD hold an inverse square relationship.

PhD Tips

Conferences are less about convincing people; more about confusing people.

PhD Tips

Copy from one, it's plagiarism; copy from many, it's research.

About

I am a research fellow with the School of Computer Science, and the Australia Research Council Training Centre for Innovative BioEngineering, the University of Sydney. Prior to that, I received my PhD degree (2018) from the School of Computer Science, the University of Sydney, supervised by Prof. David Dagan Feng, Prof. Jinman Kim and Clinical Professor Michael Fulham.

My current research interests include multi-modality medical image analysis, visualisation and radiomics. I also work closely with clinicians from major hospitals in China and Australia such as the Ruijin Hospital and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, to translate and implement the developed medical technologies into clinical workflow.
