Zhuangzhi Gao (高壮志)

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science, focusing on AI for Science (AI4Science), at the University of Liverpool, under the supervision of Prof. Yalin Zheng, Prof. Gregory Y. H. Lip, and Dr. Eduard Shantsila. Before pursuing my Ph.D., I completed my Master’s degree at the University of Leeds. My five years in the United Kingdom have been among the most memorable and formative years of my life, filled with academic exploration, personal growth, and wonderful memories.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Computer Vision, Multimodal Learning, Foundation Models, AI Agents, Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), and Medical AI. My work focuses on developing interpretable, generalizable, and trustworthy AI systems, with applications in biomedical image analysis.
