Nanyang Tech. University
Please provide your lab and description of research.
I am working under Prof. Chenyang Lu. We work on machine learning for healthcare, which uses multi-modal clinical data (from various sensors/sources and in various formats) to solve clinical decision making problems. The problems may include patients' characterization, disease prediction and treatment effect analysis, and the solutions include any kind of state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms.
What played into your decision to get a graduate engineering degree?
I am passionate for solving real-world problems and creating social impacts.
Why did you pick WashU?
I decided to go to WashU over other universities. I am pretty satisfied with my decision and I love our lab!
What is your favorite thing about St. Louis?
We have a great horned owl named Charles living in Forest Park (on the east side of Danforth campus) for 17 years. You can walk over there to visit him from our campus!

Enjoy your studies!
What campus activities or groups would you recommend to a new student?
