About Me

I am currently interning at Google Research (Health AI team) in summer 2025. I am an IvyPlus Exchange Ph.D. Scholar at MIT EECS& LIDS (2024-26) and am pursuing my Ph.D. at Cornell University (2022-26). I am also affiliated with the Mayo Clinic as a Ph.D. Research Fellow. My name means “happy walking is good”, and the pronunciation is “You-Sing.”

I hold Computer Science degrees from Rutgers University (B.A., 2017-20) and Tufts University (M.S, 2020-22). My Ph.D. focuses mainly on AI-based Healthcare Technology, Human-AI interaction, and Healthcare Intelligence. Presently, I am based in the beautiful Mountain View, CA. In my spare time, I love to do many outdoor activities, such as ice hockey, squash, and water skiing.

I founded a (semi-successful) AI for medication management company (Hug Medical) in 2022.
