Brief Bio

Andy J Ma received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees both in Mathematics from Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China, in 2007 and 2009, respectively. Then, he obtained his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong, in 2013. His Ph.D. advisor is Prof. Pong Chi Yuen, former head of the Department of Computer Science at Hong Kong Baptist University. After that, he worked as a Post-Doctoral Associate under Dr. Ping Li in the Department of Statistics and Biostatistics at Rutgers University, NJ, USA. Then, he moved to the Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University, MD, USA, and worked as a Post-Doctoral Fellow under Dr. Suchi Saria together with Dr. Austin Reiter and Dr. Nishi Rawat (MD). After two years of study in USA, he worked as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Computer Science at Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong, with research topics on machine learning for liver disease diagnosis and precdition with Prof. Pong Chi Yuen, Prof. Grace LH Wong (MD), and Prof. Vincent WS Wong (MD). Now, he is an associate professor at Sun Yat-Sen University, China.
