Shihao Xu is an AI Scientist with nine years of experience applying multimodal and large-model techniques to digital mental health, currently researching LLM applications for psychiatric assessment at Shanda Group. He holds a PhD from Nanyang Technological University where his social-signal-processing work combined audio, video, language and behavioral cues to automate diagnosis and monitoring of mental illness in collaboration with IMH Singapore. Previously he brought those research skills to production as a Data Scientist at Mindsigns Health and as a Senior Algorithm Engineer at Huawei, working on multimodal search, recommendation and LLM research. Comfortable at the intersection of academic rigor and product engineering, Shihao focuses on turning complex behavioral signals into practical clinical insights and scalable systems. An underappreciated strength is his track record of bridging clinical partnerships and industry deployments, accelerating translation from experiments to real-world monitoring solutions.
