Brief Biography:
BS Computer Eng, 2001-2004 (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)
MS/PhD Computer Eng, 2005-present (Cornell University)


Research Interests:
Computer vision, Biomedical image analysis


Current Research Topic:

  • Vessel Diameter Tracking
    Manual diameter measurement in video microscopy in vivo is time consuming and prone to measurement error. Automatic measurement provides for faster and more accurate tracking of vessel diameter.
  • Human Airway Analysis
    Many pulmonary diseases affect the dimensions of airways. By measuring the airway dimensions to a known precision, the clinicians will be able to better diagnose and monitor the patients.
  • 3D Point Mapping on Mouse Skull Micro-CT
    Physical dimensions of the mouse skull is of interest in studying how the skull's appearance is affected by certain gene. A convenient tool is developed for mapping a 3D point on the skull surface.
  • 3D Visualization using VTK
    Visualization of human anatomy is a challenging task, especially for 3D data. An user-friendly tool for 3D rendering of human anatomy is developed using VTK (Visualization ToolKit).
