I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Queensland Digital Health Centre at The University of Queensland, where I work with Prof. Sebastiano Barbieri. From February 2021 to August 2024, I completed my Ph.D at the School of Computer Science and Engineering at UNSW Sydney under the supervision of Prof. Lina Yao and Dr. Liming Zhu, and received the 2024 Dean's Award for Outstanding PhD Theses. From May to December 2023, I joined the Center for Artificial Intelligence Research, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), Abu Dhabi, UAE, as a research intern, collaborating closely with Prof. Kun Zhang and Prof. Salman Khan.

Research

My research investigates causality and foundation models to tackle real-world challenges, such as distributional shifts and robustness in high-stakes domains. A central focus of my current work is AI in healthcare, where I develop generative medical event models based on Queensland's state-wide Integrated electronic medical records (ieMR) data.

Miscellanea

I enjoy swimming in the ocean. Coogee is my favorite, and I had a great time there.
