Project Description

This project aims to develop reliable artificial intelligence (AI) methods for healthcare applications, with a focus on improving the trustworthiness of AI-assisted clinical decision-making. The research will address key reliability challenges, including uncertainty estimation and calibration, hallucinations and factual errors, and robustness and generalization across diverse patient populations, clinical settings, and data distributions. By developing methods that can better quantify confidence, identify unreliable predictions or generated outputs, and maintain stable performance under changing conditions, the project seeks to enable safer and more dependable use of AI in healthcare. The ultimate goal is to provide trustworthy AI tools that can effectively support healthcare professionals in making informed clinical decisions.

Research Tasks: Data collection, data analysis, and conduct experiments with LLMs.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Has healthcare background (recommended).

Mentoring Philosophy

My mentoring goal is to encourage every student to learn something. Based on my previous mentoring experiences, I think all students are talented and my role as a teacher is to guide them to knock on the correct door. To this end, my mentoring philosophy concentrates on encouraging students to ask questions. I treat all students with respect and maintain academic fairness. In addition, I strive to create a friendly learning environment and make students feel comfortable and supported. I think students can improve their performance after they know what they do not know, and a very effective way is by asking questions, so I usually encourage students to ask questions.
