PhD Candidate in Electrical and Software Engineering, University of Calgary

Large Language Model Application, Federated Learning

Biography

Jiajun Wu is a PhD candidate at DENOS Lab working on federated learning and large language model applications. His survey Topology-aware Federated Learning in Edge Computing is published in ACM Computing Surveys and was selected for the ACM Showcase, and his work now extends to clinical decision support, where he leads the lab’s patient chart summarization and small language model benchmarking for emergency departments.

Projects

  • EDSim

    Large language model simulation of an emergency department with autonomous agents for patients, nurses, and physicians.

  • Patient chart summarization

    Dual-stage summarization that runs offline on embedded devices so emergency physicians get structured findings without patient data leaving the device.
