Research Interest
- My research is at the interdisciplinary field of medical image analysis, machine learning and robotic surgery intelligence, aiming to create synergistic advancements for innovative intelligent systems that achieve an impact to support delivery of higher-quality medical diagnosis, intervention and education via next-generation healthcare technology. Previous representative works include 3D deep learning for high-dimensional image computing, domain adaptation and generalization on heterogeneous medical data, surgical video analysis with efficient spatial-temporal learning, and visual-kinematics precise surgical robotics perception.
- Recent works focus on: 1) smart mixed-reality for robotic surgical education, 2) multi-sensory perception in dynamic environment, 3) deep model generalization on non-iid medical images at FL/multi-center learning in real-world.
