BIOGRAPHY

My long-term goal is to become a full professor and an internationally recognized leader in deep learning for biomedical applications. In the medium term, I aim to advance my expertise in graph neural networks, explainable AI, multimodal integration, and interdisciplinary collaboration, while developing key skills in leadership, project management, supervision, and grant writing. My strong background in deep learning, publications in impact-factor journals, and successful international research experience (including a CSC scholarship during my PhD) demonstrate my capacity to deliver high-quality research.
