Hi! I’m Hangzhou He (何航舟) from Peking University. I’m a Ph.D. student at the Molecular Imaging and Medical Intelligence Lab (MILab), under the supervision of assistant professor Yanye Lu (卢闫晔) and professor Qiushi Ren (任秋实).
My research focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence and biomedical applications, with a particular emphasis on the trustworthiness of deep learning models, including explainability, generalization, and building interpretable models. Feel free to email me for any questions or interesting ideas.
