I am an Internal Medicine Physician at Mayo Clinic Health System and a Computer Science PhD student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Jimeng Sun. Before this, I received my MD degree and completed my residency training in Internal Medicine.

I am passionate about developing large language models for healthcare applications, with a focus on addressing real-world clinical challenges that have measurable impact. My particular interests include clinical note generation and reinforcement learning. Additionally, I am actively exploring startup opportunities to translate these research advancements into practical healthcare solutions.
