I am a PhD student at Department of Computing, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, fortunately advised by Prof. Maggie Wenjie Li.

I am interested in Conversational AI and Clinical Natural Language Processing (Clinical NLP). Recently, I focus on the following topics:

  • Interpretable Medical Dialogue Systems involving diagnosis, prescriptions, concultations, etc. I am committed to enabling machines to function as reliable and trustworthy clinicians;
  • Radiology Report Generation;
  • Other applications empowered by Large Language Models (LLMs). My focus lies on reasoning and alignment.
