Yicong Li

I’m a Ph.D. student in computer science at Harvard University advised by Prof. Hanspeter Pfister in Visual Computing Group (VCG), and affiliated with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. I also work closely with Prof. Jeff W. Lichtman and Prof. Aravinthan D.T. Samuel at Harvard’s Center for Brain Science, and Prof. Bill Lotter at Harvard Medical School.

I’m very fortunate to have interned (now a guest researcher) at Simons Foundation (with Prof. Dmitri “Mitya” B. Chklovskii and Prof. Jingpeng Wu), MIT CSAIL (with Prof. Nir Shavit), Harvard Medical School (with Prof. Faisal Mahmood), and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. (with Changzheng Zhang and Prof. Nanshan Zhong’s team).

Prior to Harvard, I obtained my master’s degree at Tsinghua University advised by Prof. Yang Li, and my bachelor’s degree at Sichuan University.

I aim at bridging the gap the betweem natural and artificial intelligence as well as developing bleeding-edge AI techniques to address important real-world challenges in Healthcare, Medicine, and Neuroscience. Specifically, my research interests are but not limited to:

• Biomedical Image Analysis,
• Data-Efficient Learning,
• Computational Pathology,
• Computational Neuroscience/Connectomics.

Collaborations and casual chats are welcomed!
