I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the School of Optometry at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, supervised by Prof. Danli SHI and co-supervised by Prof. Mingguang HE. Before that, I received an M.Eng. degree in Electronic Information from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where I was supervised by Prof. Yiqiang CHEN and Prof. Xinlong JIANG. I also received a B.Eng. degree in Software Engineering from Hainan University.

Research Interests:
⚡ Medical Agents and Agentic AI: AI agents for healthcare, autonomous medical systems, and intelligent clinical decision support.

Please feel free to contact me via email if you are interested in my research!
