Yongcheng Jing

Biography

I am currently a Full Professor in the School of Computer Science at Wuhan University. Prior to joining Wuhan University, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Computer Science at the University of Sydney, and subsequently a Research Fellow and Research Scientist in the College of Computing and Data Science at Nanyang Technological University, where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Dacheng Tao. I received my Ph.D. degree from the University of Sydney in 2023, also under the supervision of Prof. Dacheng Tao.

Research Interests

My current research centers on the reasoning capabilities of large language models, with a particular emphasis on their applications in healthcare:

• Medical Large Language Model
• Efficient Reasoning
• Graph-augmented Reasoning
