My research aims to build generalizable and robust multi-modal AI systems to support precise and personalized clinical decision-making. My recent research focus includes: 1) Interpret and integrate multi-modal biomedical data, combining both imaging and non-imaging (e.g., texts, EHRs, genes) information, to improve clinical understanding and decision-making; 2) Develop scalable models with strong generalizability and adaptability to perform accurately on new, unseen medical data or scenarios; 3) Innovate human-in-the-loop approaches with data-centric strategies to create synergistic solutions for medical applications.
Our group is looking for Ph.D. students and research assistants. If you are interested in joining us, please feel free to email me at cchen@eee.hku.hk for potential opportunities.
