I am currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at Sunlab@UIUC, under the guidance of Prof. Jimeng Sun.

  • My research primarily revolves around the development of foundation models, including large language models (LLMs), tabular models, vision-language models, and biomedical multimodal models, for drug discovery and development.
  • My recent focus has shifted towards creating LLM-driven systems to enhance human-AI collaboration in various clinical trial tasks, including trial search, trial design, and data analysis.
  • We are actively developing a startup venture, Keiji.AI, with the vision to revolutionize clinical trial development with cutting-edge AI techniques.
