Research
I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan ECE, co-advised by Prof. Qing Qu (DeepThink Lab) and Prof. Joyce Yan-Ran Wang (PixAIL), working on AI for science and machine learning. Below are selected prior and ongoing research projects.
AI for Science & Machine Learning
University of Michigan ECE
Ph.D. Student · Co-advised by Prof. Qing Qu (DeepThink Lab) & Prof. Joyce Wang (PixAIL)
- Research on machine learning and AI for science, with connections to generative models, representation learning, and scientific / biomedical applications.
Model Collapse in Medical AI
A Critical Threat to Healthcare Quality and Equity
Researcher · NUS CogAI4Sci · Advisor: Prof. Dianbo Liu
- Investigated model collapse in multi-modal medical generative models through large-scale experiments on MIMIC-CXR and MIMIC-IV.
- Designed evaluation pipelines diagnosing clinical knowledge loss, vocabulary drift, and reduced image diversity across synthetic iterations.
- Proposed mitigation strategies (real/synthetic mixing, bias-aware sampling, feature-space regularization) that preserved disease diversity and text–image coherence.

OptiMA: Multi-Agent Control for Optical Networks
Collaborative Multi-Agent Framework for Modelling and Controlling Raman Amplifiers
Project Leader · SJTU · Advisor: Prof. Qunbi Zhuge
- Led development of OptiMA, a multi-agent LLM framework for intelligent optical networks; validated on a C+L band Raman amplifier testbed.
- Proposed chain-of-thought prompting for bilevel hyperparameter optimization (~50% faster convergence, lower RMSE).
- LLM-enhanced Bayesian optimization achieving 0.135 dB on-off gain RMSE (vs. 0.191 dB traditional BO).
GenUI / DuetUI: Human–Agent Interface Co-Generation
User & AI-Agent Collaboration Mechanisms in Generative Interface Design
Researcher · HKUST · Advisor: Prof. Xin Tong
- Developed GenUI for transforming natural language requirements into interactive interfaces via multi-agent collaboration.
- Built Vue3 + FastAPI + LangChain architecture for real-time code generation and multi-user collaboration.
