Software Engineer
Clario Medical Imaging, Seattle, WA 2007 - 2009
> Served as a core member in an agile team in all development phases
leading to the release of z3D, an FDA-cleared software system for MRI
breast cancer diagnosis.
. Reviewed and revised the requirements, specs, architecture, design, and
testing plans documentation.
. Implemented the DICOM network query/retrieve interface.
. Designed a fast algorithm for on-the-fly DICOM images structuring and
sorting.
. Designed a database scenario for imported and retrieved DICOM image
storage.
. Architected and implemented the motion correction module, applied
multiple optimization strategies to reduce its running time to sub
second enabling its real-time use in clinics.
. Tested multiple versions of z3D and fixed bugs.
> Managed image processing/analysis algorithms R&D; coordinated multi-site
clinical studies.
. Applied fuzzy patient matching to Multiple Patient Indexing (MPI),
achieved an accuracy of 98% on validation datasets.
. Designed a user interface for CTA and MRA 3D interactive visualization,
developed algorithms for blood vessel centerline computation and curved
planar reformation (CPR) display.
. Implemented a Web Service based DICOM Application Hosting Framework,
developed the SDK in multiple languages (C++, Python, and Matlab), with
Volume Rendering, Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP), and Multi-Planar
Reformation (MPR) applications as its sample plug-ins.
. Developed a diffusion-based method for chest X-ray and mammography
image enhancement.
. Developed a method to calculate the breast tumor malignancy probability
based on MRI.
. Designed a z-axis encoding PET-CT fusion image visualization method,
implemented a prototype for clinical evaluations.
Senior Fellow
University of Washington - MR Research Lab, Department of Radiology,
Seattle, WA 2006 - 2007
> Developed a software toolset to register fMRI and DTI data and used the
activation regions of fMRI to guide DTI fiber tracking for brain
connectivity study.
> Built image processing pipelines for automated segmentation and volume
measurement for brain MRI studies, allowing for mix-and-match use of
interchangeable tools from FSL, SPM, FreeSurfer, Phatasm, and MIPAV.
> Launched a wiki site to provide technical support on brain imaging
pipeline construction, operation, and maintenance.
> Designed and implemented a method for CT and MR image fusion for CSF leak
diagnosis and surgical planning.
> Developed an analysis tool for processing MR perfusion images for brain
tumor staging.
> Implemented a DICOM to Analyze/NIfTI file format converter on multiple
platforms: Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.
Research Assistant
University of Washington - Department of Bioengineering, Seattle, WA
2000 - 2005
> Invented a novel object modeling methodology combining discrete graph
cuts and continuous level sets methods in two steps.
> Developed a piece-wise registration approach to fusing CT and MR images
for cervical spine disease diagnosis.
> Performed ankle motion analysis from MRI and reduced the user interaction
time per case from 48 hours to less than 30 minutes using automated image
segmentation and registration.
> Developed Multi-Rigid, a software suite for volumetric data segmentation
and registration.
> Developed a C# GUI to guide clinical study workflow.
> Applied FEM and Spline based deformable image registration methods to
anatomic template and model matching, studies statistical shape
variations in normal and pathological populations.
> Designed a model storage scheme for a physiological modeling and
simulation system using MySQL and Java.
> Implemented an unsharp masking algorithm for image enhancement on MAP-CA,
a programmable media processor.
Research Assistant
