I am a final-year PhD candidate at the School of Engineering and Applied Science, Yale University, where I am fortunately co-advised by Prof. Chi Liu at Yale Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Center and Prof. Nicha Dvornek at Yale Image Processing and Analysis Group. In summer 2023, I was an AI software engineer intern at Siemens Healthineers (Knoxville, TN) working on generative data harmonization. In summer 2022, I was an image analytics intern at Siemens Healthineers (Malvern, PA) working on weakly-supervised segmentation. Before coming to Yale, I did my undergraduate study at Shanghai Jiao Tong University fortunately supervised by Prof. Jun Zhao. In summer 2018, I was an undergraduate research assistant at Johns Hopkins University fortunately supervised by Prof. Web Stayman working on CT denoising network analysis.

My research interests are medical image analysis and medical computer vision, specializing in but not limited to registration, generation, segmentation, and denoising for dynamic PET, CT, and MRI.

I am actively looking for full-time positions as an AI/ML scientist/engineer. Please feel free to contact me at xueqi.guo@yale.edu and find my CV here.
