Personal Profiles
9 I joined centre for medical image computing (CMIC), University College London (UCL) as a
research fellow in Sept 2006 and obtained a PhD in the field of medical image computing
from department of medical physics and bioengineering, under the supervision of Dr. S.
Ourselin, Prof. D. J. Hawkes, Prof. D. Hill, and Prof. R. Razavi (KCL). I helped generate the
grant proposal to EPSRC worth 1.05 million pounds and was the nominated research scientist.
9 My research focuses on cardiac image computing which has been recognized by international
peers:
1) I have been invited to give speeches for two conferences, including Fields-MITACS
Conference on Mathematics of Medical Imaging which provided $2025 CAD for my
expense and statistical shape modelling and its applications workshop in Computer
Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS); I will also prepare a talk for European Society for
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and Biology Congress 2011 which invited Dr. S.
Ourselin to give a lecture on our research.
2) I was the runner-up for the MICCAI Young Scientist Awards (New York University,
2008) for the invention of the LARM method.
3) I was invited to be a committee member of the 6th international conference on Functional
Imaging and Modelling of the Heart (New York University, May 2011)
9 I have been developing a medical image computing platform since 2004. This project has over
200 files and 10MB source code, based on which several applications have been developed,
including automatic registration, segmentation, and functional analyses for cardiology as well
as other cutting-edge technology. The academic version has been used by a number of
research institutes, including St. Thomas Hospital (KCL), Great Ormond St. Hospital, The
Heart Hospital, University of Sheffield, University of Oxford and Imperial College London.

Work Experience
10/2011 – 10/2016 Honorary Lecturer ;
09/2006 – 09/2011 Research Fellow
Centre for Medical Image Computing, University College London
• I am working in a British Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) grant
(Grand Challenges: Translating biomedical modelling into the heart of the clinic; project code:
EP/H02025X/1, April 2010 – April 2013), worthy of 1.05 million pounds and involving five
different research institutes. I have been involved in the application and research management
of this project. I drafted the protocol of image computing work of which I am responsible now.
• My research includes medical image computing, computer assisted detection/diagnosis of
cardiac diseases, cardiac functional analysis, in particular anatomical modelling and motion
tracking. In image computing, I am particularly interested in three areas, i.e. fast computation,
high accuracy, and high robustness. They can be separately achieved for specific applications.
