About The Textbook:

In collaboration with Professor Jimeng Sun from UIUC,  we wrote this textbook to Introduce the concepts of deep learning models in the context of healthcare to students and professionals who have interest. It took us 2 years of hard work to write it but totally worth it.

Sunstella Foundation

We founded the Sunstella Foundation, and will donate the book income to help grow students in the field of technology and engineering.
