SUMMARY
I have expertise in the development of both algorithms and software toolkits in medical image processing. I have
extensive experiences on the image segmentation, deformable registration/fusion, machine-learning based object
detection and pattern recognition in 3D medical imaging applications. For implementation, I am an expert in C++,
Linux shell script, MATLAB and GPU programming.
