Summary
Linhai Ma is a Postdoctoral Associate and machine learning practitioner with 9 years of experience applying deep learning, data mining, and software engineering to medical imaging, natural language processing, and robust software testing. He combines academic rigor from a PhD in Computer Science with hands-on industry experience at Cadence, prototyping ML systems for IC simulation and automation. At Yale and prior research roles he built pretrained- and LLM-based information extraction pipelines for clinical text and developed CNN/GAN models for prostate micro‑ultrasound, bridging modality translation and diagnostic accuracy. Comfortable in C/C++, Python, and production tooling, he has a track record of translating research into deployable systems and improving adversarial robustness of neural nets. Based in New Haven, he brings an interdisciplinary mindset—equally adept at low-level systems work and high-level model design—which helps him cross the boundary between medical research and engineering practice.
