Wei Dai

Media Lab student at MIT

About me

I am a Media Lab student at MIT under the supervision of Dr. Paul Liang. My research interests lie in the field of multimodal learning and its applications to healthcare. I am currently working on developing AI systems that can assist clinicians in making better decisions.

Before joining MIT, I was a masters student at Stanford University majoring in Computer Science. I was a research assistant in Stanford SVL and Partnership in AI-Assisted Care (PAC) Lab supervised by Dr. Li Fei-Fei and Dr. Ehsan Adeli.

Before joining Stanford, I graduated with the highest honor in Computer Science and Math from Emory University. I was in Emory Brain Network Lab under the supervision of Dr. Carl Yang, working on graph mining in the area of healthcare.
