Research into AI that ships

I'm a Data Science graduate from XJTLU (Rank 2/241, First-class Honours) heading to Columbia University for an M.S. in Artificial Intelligence. I like turning research ideas into systems that actually run.

My work sits where multimodal machine learning meets applied decision-making — LLMs and vision-language models for medical AI, reinforcement learning for real-world decisions, and trust/consensus modeling for large-scale group decisions. Across these I co-authored 7 papers (including IEEE TFS, ICASSP and ICME).

I'm easy-going but relentless, endlessly curious, and I try to build with a bit of peace & love. Lately I'm hands-on with vibe-coding tools — shipping small, complete AI things and learning in public.
