About Han

Hi! I am Han. My professional journey spans diverse roles and industries, including an NLP & GenAI Manager at American Express, a macro research analyst at Founder Securities, and a banking advisor at Bank of China. I received Ph.D. in Health Data Science from Duke-NUS Medical School, a collaborative institute between Duke University and National University of Singapore. Throughout my doctoral studies, I focuses on multi-modal health data modeling and exchanged at the University of Zurich and Duke University. Before my doctoral studies, I graduated top of his class with double B.S. degrees in Biotechnology and Applied Mathematics from Nankai University and subsequently worked as a full-time consultant at Harvard University. I have published over 20 papers in leading conferences such as ACL and EACL, as well as esteemed journals like Nature Partner Journal Digital Medicine, IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, and Journal of Biomedical Informatics, receiving over 1,100 citations to date.

Also, the idea of traveling✈️, packing my bags🧳, and disappearing to someplace new📸, lives inside my brain all the time🧠. I have journeyed to over 20 countries🧭and have been spellbound by the surreal natural wonders🌄, including rushing while clear river🐟flowing from sapphire lake🦢, the blue-burning🔥or matcha pudding🍵-like volcano🌋, the glacier🧊at the roof🔝or the end🔚of the continent🌎, the pink ocean🦩in the barren saline land🌵, the black sand beach🐚with crashing waves🌊, and the auroras🌌dancing across the skies🌠.

Thank you for visiting my academic website. I invite you to explore the publications section, where you will find a comprehensive list of my articles and have full-text access. Whether you are in search of a research collaborator or a travel companion, please feel free to contact me.
