SUMMARY

Since graduated with a Biomedical Imaging Master’s degree from the University of California,

San Francisco, I am looking for an opportunity to provide my knowledge and contribute in a

professional environment. I’ve been worked in biomedical imaging and clinical develop

sciences for at least five years, especially in DICOM imaging processing field. From brain

fiber structure to breast cancer diffusion imaging, I am experienced in academic research and

clinical study. I enjoy the excitement of interdisciplinary scientific discovery, and I am willing

to explore any possibility and cooperation.
