Working Experience

May - Aug. 2019, AI Product Manager Intern (Medical Treatment & Healthcare Group)

Ping-An Technology (Shen Zhen) Co., Ltd., Guang Dong, CN

Accomplishments:

  • Studied and searched for latest AI techniques and machine learning models with technical teams

  • Designed innovative products with AI techniques in assisting prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases

  • Collected and analyzed data from various sources and used SWOT and PEST methods to explore product availability

  • Assisted in projects including ‘COPD e-platform for hierarchical diagnosis & treatment’, ‘National health accounts with AI techniques’, ‘Knowledge graph construction for precision medicine’ through data analyses and product design


Academic Research Projects

May - Aug. 2018, Research Intern

Johns Hopkins University, Department of Biostatistics, MD, US

Project: Inverse Odds Ratio-Weighted (IORW) Estimation for Causal Mediation Analysis

Supervisor: Dr. Ni Zhao

Accomplishments:

  • Conducted theoretical study on the IORW estimation method in mediation analysis on continuous and binomial cases

  • Applied the approach into mediation models and conducted comprehensive simulations with real data in genomics

  • Developed more effective modifications to this method using LASSO when dealing with high-dimensional data


Jan. - May 2018, Research Assistant

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Department of Applied Mathematics, HK

Project: Mathematical Modeling and Prediction for Pneumonia and Influenza (P&I) Mortality

Supervisor: Dr. Daihai He

Accomplishments:

  • Collected, processed and analyzed P&I mortality data and environmental indicators in Hong Kong from 1998 to 2016

  • Applied latest machine learning method called ‘boost regression tree model’ in modeling of P&I mortality

  • Obtained 95% prediction power in the project which was much better than other current models in P&I mortality studies


Selected Course Projects

Sep. 2018 - May 2019

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Department of Applied Physics, HK

Capstone Project: Artificial Neural Network for Molecular Dynamic Simulation

Supervisor: Dr. Onofrio Nicolas

Accomplishments:

  • Created ‘fingerprints’ as data representations for each molecular in data training to improve efficiency

  • Built a feed-forward neural network using Python to obtain molecular force given their positions

  • Optimized the network and made the error rate less than 5% to be comparable with the most precise quantum method
