Yutong is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML), part of The University of Adelaide (UoA), working with Dr. Qi Wu. She received her Ph.D. in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU), China, under the supervision of Prof. Yong Xia. She has also spent two years at UoA during her Ph.D. studies, under the supervision of Prof. Chunhua Shen and Dr. Johan Verjans.

Yutong’s focus is mainly on artificial intelligence in medical data analysis applications, aiming to develop smart solutions to assist medical professionals in the lesion and anatomical structure segmentation, and disease diagnosis and therapy. Recently, she has been investigating self-supervised/multi-modal learning to improve medical data analysis with limited annotations. Yutong has published over 10 peer-reviewed articles in top-tier journals/conferences such as IEEE-TMI, Medical Image Analysis, CVPR, IJCAI, MICCAI, and so on.
