Hi there! This is Hejie Cui (pronounced as “Her-jay Tsuee”, 崔鹤洁 in Chinese). I am currently a PhD student in
Computer Science at
Emory University, under the supervision of
Prof. Carl Yang in Emory Graph Mining (EGM) Lab. My research interests lie in multimodal data mining and AI for health informatics. Check my
CV for more details.
Previously, I got my bachelor’s degree (Valedictorian, GPA Ranking: 1/164) in
Software Engineering at
Tongji University. During my undergraduate, I worked on computer vision for medical imaging with
Prof. Lin Zhang. In addition, I worked with
Prof. Tianwei Yu on machine learning for bioinformatics. I also spent a wonderful summer at
Prof. Gabor Fichtinger‘s
Perk Lab at the School of Computing, Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada through the
Mitacs program.
