Mingzhu Liu

Hello, my name is Mingzhu and I am a senior studying computer science at the University of Michigan. My primary research interest lies in machine learning in healthcare and robotics. I have been doing research on computer vision for medical and biochemical data at my school for one year. I plan on attending graduate school to pursue my research interest further. This summer, I will be joining the Auton Lab under the mentorship of Dr. Artur Dubrawski, where I will work on radiograph datasets of patients susceptible to cancer and their long-term follow-up and mortality incidence. Specifically, my project will involve the use of deep learning techniques along with survival analysis methods for mortality prediction. Needless to say, I am exhilarated to be in this lab. In addition to making connections with and learning from my fellow cohort members, I will also get a close look at what constitutes day-to-day life for professionals in my desired field. I would like to thank the RISS sponsors for providing such an amazing opportunity and anticipate great growth for myself this coming summer!
