🔍 Research Interests

My research focuses on Data-Efficient Learning, Generative AI, and Decision-Making Systems in medical scenarios, aiming to build robust and intelligent medical AI. Specifically:

  • Medical Image Analysis & Generation (Low-Resource)
    → Weakly/semi-supervised segmentation, shape prior modeling, and high-fidelity image synthesis using latent diffusion models.

  • Multi-modal Foundation Models & Disease Diagnosis
    → Leveraging large vision-language models (e.g., CLIP, Med-SAM) for domain adaptation, semantic alignment, and automated clinical diagnosis.

  • Embodied Intelligence & Multi-agent Systems (Exploratory)
    → Exploring advanced decision-making, clinical reasoning, and collaborative robustness in multi-agent medical environments.
