Yunhe Gao
PhD Candidate @ Rutgers

Brief Bio. I am a PhD candidate in the Computer Science Department of Rutgers University, advised by Distinguished Professor Dimitris N. Metaxas.

My current research interests lie primarily in (1) meidcal imaging foundation models (e.g., universal medical image understanding, multimodal models), (2) Knowledge-driven models and explainable AI (e.g., injecting human prior knowledge into models, making the AI decision-making process human-understandable), and (3) Model adaptability (e.g., domain adaptation, generalization, in-context learning).
