Joey Yip

I'm a PhD candidate researching the intersection of Knowledge Graphs (KGs), Large Language Models (LLMs), and Agentic AI systems. My work focuses on building Neuro-symbolic frameworks that combine the reasoning capabilities of structured knowledge with the generative capabilities of LLMs for application- and user-level explainability in mission critical domains.

Currently leading the development of EMPWR, the next-generation platform for managing the complete KG lifecycle: from design and ingestion to enrichment and maintenance at scale; also serving as an AI Advisor at MedHive.ai, where I am leading the effort in developing Neuro-symbolic AI approaches to accelerate and automate medical device R&D.

Previously, I completed research internships at the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and Outreach.io, where I developed methods to create, manage, and maintain large-scale KGs for healthcare and sales intelligence applications.
