Personal information
Biography
I am a Research Fellow at The George Institute for Global Health, a Conjoint Lecturer at The University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, and the NSW Cardiovascular Elite Postdoctoral Researcher. I obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (China) in 2007, a Doctor of Medicine Degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (China) in 2011, and a PhD Degree in Medical Research from UNSW in 2022 (UNSW Scientia Scholarship awardee). Before joining The George Institute, I worked as a Radiologist in China for eight years.
My research focuses on brain imaging analysis in stroke, brain-heart interaction, cerebral small vessel disease, and optimal antithrombotic treatment for cardioembolic stroke prevention. I am now leading a pilot trial funded by NSW Health to explore the value of brain images in atrial fibrillation management.
