I completed the Master of Science degree at Lassonde School of Engineering, York University (2017 - 2020) under the supervision of Professor Aijun An. My focus was on elastic distributed training for Deep Learning. My current research interests are in the areas of Machine Learning (ML) and its applications on cancer genomics diagnosis and treatment (e.g., early stage cancer detection and precision medicine). I am open to collaboration in the ML research, and currently looking for ML Engineer job opportunities in industries.
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
