Hello, I am Yu Gan, a tenured Associate Professor in the Fischell Department of Bioengineering at University of Maryland, College Park. I am also a core faculty member in Artificial Intelligence Interdisciplinary Institute at Maryland and affliated with Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at UMD. I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University in the year of 2017 under the supervision of Dr. Christine P. Hendon. Prior to UMD, I was an Associate Professor in Department of Biomedical Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology. I am the awardee of NSF CAREER award. I lead the Computational Learning, Artificial Representation, and Imaging Technology (CLARITY) Lab, with a focus on machine learning and deep learning techniques that facilitate biomedical imaging and dig out hidden information from medical/biomedical data for generative, agentic, and trustworthy solutions. I am the recipient of multiple research awards supported by National health institute (NIH, R01, R21), NJ Health Foundations, National science foundation (NSF, CAREER, CRII), US Department of Agriculture (USDA, Data Science), Research Corportation for Science Advancement, Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation, and Burrough Wellcome foundation.  He serves as an Associate Editor for Medical Image Analysis. He is a senior member of IEEE and SPIE.

Research Position: We have PhD/Postdoc position(s) in our Computational Learning, Artificial Representation, and Imaging Technology (CLARITY) Lab. Please reach out to me (yugan@umd.edu) for more information.
