I have a BS in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics and a BS in Economics from CCNU.
Inspired by Dr. Jia-Bin Huang, I set aside some time every week to meet with people (preferrably students from underrepresented groups). Feel free to send me an email to schedule a meeting if you would like to chat with me on any topics.
We are at EANM 2024 the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) annual congress in Hamburg, Germany, October 19-23, 2024.
Research
I'm interested in developing generative models (especially score-based diffusion models) with applications in 2D/3D tomographic reconstruction. I mostly focus on Computed Tomography (CT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Some of my representative work are listed below. Please always refer latest and full list in my google scholar profile.
