Huan He, Ph.D.

Dr. Huan He is a Research Scientist in the Section of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science at Yale University School of Medicine. His research focuses on advancing visual analytics and integrating large language models (LLMs) to address complex challenges in biomedical research and clinical informatics. He brings a strong background in software engineering and natural language processing (NLP), with extensive experience developing web-based interactive tools that support data exploration, decision-making, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Dr. He currently leads the development of several visual analytics systems, including MedViz, a platform that leverages LLMs and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for semantic exploration of biomedical literature; CDEMapper, an LLM-assisted tool for streamlining NIH Common Data Element (CDE) mapping; and a suite of clinical trial support tools designed to enhance patient recruitment and cohort discovery using EHR data. He emphasizes open-source development and tool dissemination through platforms such as GitHub and Huggingface, promoting transparency, reproducibility, and community collaboration.

Beyond his technical contributions, Dr. He is an active member of the AMIA Visual Analytics Working Group and serves on the ASCO guideline panel for systematic therapy in castration-resistant prostate cancer. He is also a frequent reviewer for leading venues, including AMIA, JMIR, JBI, and IEEE VIS.
