Graph learning × Biomedical AI

Learning fromconnections.

Sunghong Park, Ph.D.

I develop machine learning methods that connect heterogeneous data, learn with limited labels, and bring biological structure into biomedical AI.

Research directions

Structure. Transfer.
Understanding.

Three connected directions for learning from complex biomedical data.

01 / RESEARCH DIRECTION

Graph representation learning

Learning from relationships, not just individual observations. I study graph-based and semi-supervised methods that use network structure when labels are scarce.

Semi-supervised learning
02 / RESEARCH DIRECTION

Explainable biomedical AI

Connecting neuroimaging, plasma proteomics, and biological knowledge to study disease heterogeneity and interpretable biomarkers.

Multimodal integration
03 / RESEARCH DIRECTION

Learning across domains & time

Transferring information between heterogeneous populations, measurement settings, and time points while preserving useful differences.
