✨ About me

Hi, there! This Wanrong (Galilean), welcome to my wonderland! Currently, I am a PhD student in computer sciences at EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Distributed Algorithm, which is a fascinating place to generate future leader in data science and artificial intelligence. Before this, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering with the highest honor from joint education of Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology(SIAT), University of Chinese Academy of Sciences(UCAS) and Chongqing University of Technology (CQUT). During my undergraduate study, with the supervision of Dr.Wang Li and Dr.Shengping Liu, I focused on medical signal processing and electronic nose. After that, I was supervised by Dr.Yihang Zhou, Dr.Haifeng Wang and Prof.Dong Liang to conduct MR-guided radiotherapy in prostate cancer and AI for fast MR imaging in SIAT. Now, I am supervised by Prof.Dominik Wojtczak, Prof.Yalin Zheng and Prof.Sven Schewe, cooperated with Dr.Stephen Pasteris and Dr.Chris Hicks from Alan Turing Institute to explor new AI technology in safety evaluations. I am also interested in general AI for Medical Science. In a word, I will be always looking for interesting machine learning ideas supporting with elegant theory and experiments. “Those who can imagine anything, can create the impossible”-Alan Turing.
