Public Biography
Zifan Gu, M.S. is a Ph.D. student in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. His research focuses on developing and evaluating large language models (LLMs) and deep learning algorithms for clinical decision support systems. His recent projects include building transformer-based models for longitudinal outcome prediction, developing LLM-powered systems to extract social and behavioral determinants of health from clinical narratives, and creating agentic reasoning frameworks for treatment recommendation and patient monitoring.
He received his M.S. in Biomedical Informatics from Harvard Medical School, where he focused on clinical data engineering and population health analytics, and his B.S. in Computer Science from Wofford College. His broader goal is to develop clinically grounded, rigorously evaluated AI systems to responsibly support care delivery, translational research, and learning health systems.
