About Me
I am a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science at Yale School of Medicine, working with
Dr. Tsung-Ting Kuo . My research focuses on decentralized, privacy-preserving predictive modeling and biomedical blockchain to enable secure, robust data sharing across healthcare institutions.
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the
University of South Carolina (UofSC),
where I worked under
Dr. Sanjib Sur
at the SyReX Lab. My doctoral research focused on integrating wireless sensing,
computer vision, and machine learning to design contactless health monitoring systems.
For my Ph.D. dissertation, I received the
Best Doctoral Consortium Award at the national CMD-IT/ACM Richard Tapia Conference.
I was also nominated by the Department of CSE for the prestigious
C.C. Royal Fellowship
in recognition of my outstanding graduate work.
