Bio

My name is Peizhao Li, pronounced as 'Pay-Jow Lee' and written as '李沛钊' in Chinese. I am an AI Research Scientist at GE HealthCare, working on LLMs & Foundation Models for healthcare applications. I am based in Bellevue, WA. Prior to this, I received my Ph.D. from Brandeis University in 2024. Throughout my Ph.D. studies, I had the opportunity to work as a research intern at Google Research, Amazon Alexa AI, Adobe Research, Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL), NEC Laboratories America, and also as a research fellow at Harvard University.

I research Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. I have worked on several topics such as Responsible AI, Multimodal Learning, Computer Vision, and Natural Language Processing. The title of my thesis proposal is 'Harmonizing Fairness with Utility in Data and Learning.' In my dissertation research, I develop methods from both computational and data-centric perspectives to make machine learning models fair and non-discriminatory, and simultaneously have no or minimal side effects on utility performance. My dissertation research was recognized by a NIJ Graduate Research Fellowship and a Meta Ph.D. Research Fellowship Finalist.

I am very fortunate to have Prof. Hongfu Liu as my Ph.D. advisor.
