Turning research into deployable systems — from pixels to robots.

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Nankai University, working on medical image analysis, surgical robotics, and information security. My work spans the full stack — from algorithm prototyping and deep learning to system integration and clinical deployment. I am the core contributor to multiple National Key R&D projects, producing MICCAI / EAAI / TIM papers, PCT invention patents and registered software copyrights.

Flagship System Medical Robotics Computer Vision System Integration

实时术中核磁成像 · 核磁兼容机器人手术系统

Real-time Intraoperative MRI-guided Robotic Neurosurgery

A closed-loop robotic system for MRI-guided brain puncture — full stack engineering across computer vision, calibration, registration, MRI scanner software and closed-loop control, deployed on a real 1.5T/5T MRI scanner.

End-to-end engineering capability: from algorithm R&D to certified clinical software — computer vision, multi-modal registration, MRI-machine-side software development, and closed-loop safety control. Supported by National Key R&D Program 2022YFB4702800.

MICCAI 2025 CCF-B · Top Venue Semantic Segmentation NAS

医学影像语义分割 · 成本、可解释性与临床引导

Medical Image Segmentation · Cost · Interpretability · Clinical Guidance

A systematic research line on medical image segmentation — addressing search cost & interpretability (MICCAI), uncertainty modeling (ICIC), and preoperative clinical guidance (CCDI-Net).

Core directions: (1) compact training-free NAS balancing cost and interpretability, (2) uncertainty-guided feature learning for reliable segmentation, (3) clinical-correlation-driven dynamic interaction for multi-modality brain tumor segmentation. Built on PyTorch 1.13, single RTX 4090.

EAAI 2021 SCI Q1 Top Information Security Digital Watermarking

数字水印 · 信息安全与不可感知嵌入

Digital Watermarking with Improved SMS for QR Codes

An improved Slope Modulation Scheme (SMS) for embedding imperceptible, tamper-resistant watermarks — balancing capacity, robustness, and visual quality.

Proposed an improved SMS that increases embedding capacity while maintaining scan compatibility under common attacks (JPEG, noise, cropping). Student first-author work during M.Sc.
