Biography

I am currently a Second-Year Ph.D. student (2024.01 - Now), working in Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto, with Prof. Simon J. Graham and Prof. Mark Chiew. I am also affiliated with Physical Science Platform, Sunnybrook Research Institute. My work is about 3D Selective Excitation of Arbitrary Reduced FOV for High Resolution and Fast Reconstruction in anatomical and functional magnetic resonance imaging.

I got M.S.E. degree in Surgical Robotics at Johns Hopkins University in 2023, working in Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics, advised by Prof. Russell H. Taylor, and got B.Sc. degrees in Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering at University of Pittsburgh and Sichuan University in 2021.

I spent wonderful time at JHU Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare with Dr. Swaroop S. Vedula, at Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) with Dr. Qi Dou, and at Tianjin University with Dr. Xinan Sun.
