I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in biostatistics at Brown University, where I develop and apply deep learning methods for spatial proteomics and H&E images at Prof. Ying Ma’s Lab. This past summer, I interned at the Wake Forest Center for Artificial Intelligence Research under Prof. Da Ma working on neuroimaging and graph neural networks for Alzheimer’s Disease. I’m also a fractional researcher at Northern Research Institute of Health, and vice president of the Taiwan Graduate Student Association at Brown.

Before Brown, I earned my B.S. in Data Science from Fei Tian College Middletown, where I co-founded Link Club——the largest student-run organization on campus. I was honored as the college’s first-ever recipient of the Distinguished College Achievement Award, selected by unanimous committee vote, and delivered the reception speech to an audience including the city mayor and a New York State Assemblywoman.

Beyond Research

Outside the classroom, I’ve completed 7 internships across diverse roles in academic research, data science, data engineering, software engineering, and DevOps——including a project at Cisco under distinguished engineer Christopher Paggen that led to a GitHub repo with 40+ stars and a Docker image with 1.2k+ pulls.

A lifelong learner and performer, I’ve been practicing Classical Chinese dance for more than 9 years and have performed everywhere from LEGOLAND to the Capital One Theatre. I currently dance with Molì Dance Company at Brown. This artistic discipline has instilled in me a strong appreciation for detail and perseverance.

I identify as an INTP-T (Logician) on the MBTI and a Type 1 Perfectionist on the Enneagram.

Research interests: spatial transcriptomics & genomics, medical imaging (neuroimaging, histology), explainable AI (XAI), graph neural networks (GNNs), causal inference, computer vision
