Shun Liu

Ph.D. Student

I'm a CS Ph.D. student at Virginia Commonwealth University, advised by Prof. Nan Xi. Prior to that, I obtained the B.E. in CS from SHUFE. During my undergraduate study, I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. David Doermann and Dr. Xuan Gong at SUNY-Buffalo, and Prof. Soroush Vosoughi at Dartmouth College.

My research interests lie at the intersection of Multimodal Learning and Visual Reasoning, and their applications in clinical practices.

We propose MEDFuse, a multimodal EHR fusion framework integrating masked lab-test modeling and fine-tuned LLMs to unify structured lab results and unstructured clinical notes. Evaluated on MIMIC-III and internal FEMH datasets, MEDFuse reaches over 90% F1 score on 10-disease multi-label classification for reliable clinical prediction.
