Research interests

My research interests lie in statistical machine learning and image analysis. Past works include distance metric learning and target detection for hyperspectral images. The ongoing research topics include: (1) machine learning under data paucity (or learning with small data): few-shot learning, self-supervised learning, domain adaptation; (2) trustworthy machine learning: adversarial attacks and defenses, uncertainty quantification, interpretability; (3) machine learning for medical and healthcare applications: medical image analysis, disease detection and diagnosis, disease progression modeling.
