👨💻 About Me
Hi, I’m Lilin Wang. I will be joining the University of Florida in Spring 2027 as a Ph.D. student in Medical Sciences with a concentration in Biomedical Informatics, in the College of Medicine, advised by Prof. Yonghui Wu.
I recently completed my M.S.E. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, and I received my B.Eng. in Data Science and Big Data Technology, jointly awarded by the University of Liverpool and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University.
Previously, I worked as a Research Assistant at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, advised by Prof. Zhi Huang in the Huang Lab. My work focused on TissueLab [website] [
My research interests lie in medical research and healthcare, with a particular focus on electronic health records. I am interested in extracting meaningful medical information from these records to support disease research and early identification of health risks. My goal is to use computational tools to assist clinical diagnosis, improve patient outcomes, and support medical decision-making.
I hope to contribute to making healthcare more accessible, reliable, and human-centered. Always happy to connect and collaborate! 😊

More Than Work
When I’m coding or reading papers, I’m usually with Xiaoman Xia — my furry little boss. She sits on my keyboard, supervises every Git commit, and makes sure I never get overwhelmed. 🐱💻
I love Lana Del Rey’s music and the aesthetic of her work. I’ve been experimenting with capturing similar vibes in my own photos and videos.
I’ve also gotten into film photography lately. Still learning, but I love the process and I’m always looking to get better at it.
