Hi!

I’m Juexiao Zhou, Joshua Chou, 周觉晓

I am a PhD Candidate @King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) working with Prof. Xin Gao.

My research interests are:

  • Intelligent Healthcare: develop machine learning (ML) / deep learning (DL) techniques for healthcare, including disease detection, risk assessment, etc.
  • Bioinformatics: develop new methods for bioinformatics tasks, including gene regulation understanding, system biology, etc.
  • Privacy and Security
  • Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
  • Large Language Model (LLM)
