Research Description:
To me, data science is a challenge-oriented field. I am interested in discovering research challenges and leveraging cutting-edge technologies or developing new methods to solve real-world problems. I am currently focusing on healthcare-related challenges, especially in transferring data into knowledge and the generalization of health informatics approaches. Meanwhile, I am open to exploring other areas that could be improved from a data perspective.
