About Me

I am a Research Assistant at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Prof. Michael Oberst. I also work part-time as a Machine Learning Engineer at Visilant Inc. I’m primarily interested in how AI can be applied to the biomedical and healthcare sectors. 🤖🧬🏥

I received my M.S. in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University, where I was fortuned to be advised by Prof. Michael Oberst from the Department of Computer Science and Prof. Kunal Parikh from the School of Medicine. I am also privileged to collaborate with Prof. Liang Zhao from Emory University and Prof. Xiaofeng Yang from University of Chicago.

Prior to that, I completed my B.E. with honors in Software Engineering from Shandong University, under the supervision of Prof. Leyi Wei, working on bioinformatics research.

    arXiv preprint · 2026
    This work builds a standardized harness over four clinical practice guidelines and evaluates twelve LLMs on 222 synthetic clinical questions, finding that most models can attach verbatim quotes to over 90% of their claims from prompting alone, apart from some lightweight models such as claude-haiku-4.5.

    Clinical context is used to provide a more holistic evaluation of models for CXR diagnosis, and it is demonstrated that performance degrades when the correlation is broken between prior context and the current CXR label, suggesting that model performance is highly sensitive to the underlying distribution of clinical context.
  3. arXiv
    Yifei Zhang, Jiashuo Zhang, Mojtaba Safari, Xiaofeng Yang, Liang Zhao
    arXiv preprint · 2025
    An Explainable Cross-Disease Reasoning Framework for cardiovascular risk assessment from LDCT is proposed, which provides an auditable approach to cross-disease cardiovascular risk assessment from LDCT.
  4. JCIM
    Jiashuo Zhang, Ruheng Wang, Leyi Wei
    Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling · 2024
    A novel deep learning model equipped with a dual contrastive learning mechanism aimed at improving the prediction of multiple molecule-protein interactions and the identification of potential molecule-binding residues, which represents a significant advancement in protein-molecule interaction prediction.
