I am currently a Senior Research Fellow at Singapore Eye Research Institute, and I hold an Assistant Professor position at Duke-NUS Medical School.

Research Interest

I am interested in advanced ocular imaging technologies, mathematical modeling of ocular vasculature, and physics-informed/physiology-informed generative AI. I hold multiple and am applying for more patents in the field of medical imaging instruments, hoping these techs can accelebrate disease disgnosis and management.

Selected News

2025-01: Our paper, “Masked Vascular Structure Segmentation and Completion in Retinal Images”, has been accepted on IEEE TMI (IF = 8.9)! This is a work inspired by masked autoencoder. By training the neural network to learn the reconnection the simulated broken vessels, the neural network can segment the vessel with more continuous structure. Congrats to Zhou Yi for his first publication with us. Read it here.
