Nan Meng received his Ph.D. degree in 2020 in Electric and Electronic Engineering from The University of Hong Kong. At HKU, he conducted research for image-based cancer diagnosis and released the first large-scale dataset for human somatic bright-field cells. He also conducted research for Light Field Reconstruction in the Imaging Systems Laboratory, supervised by Prof. Edmund Y. Lam. During his PhD, he consulted for an AI company in the areas of multi-view imaging systems and HKU Medicine School about medical image processing and analysis. After graduation, Dr. Meng joined the Digital Health Laboratory in HKU as a postdoc for over 2 years to conduct research in intelligent orthopaedics. At present, he is a research assistant professor.
His research interests include computational optics and imag-ing, from algorithms to applications and medical image analysis. His research direction includes light-field reconstruction, view synthesis, depth estimation and medical imaging.
I am currently a senior researcher and engineer in HKU O&T Department, focusing on intelligent solutions for bone disease using deep learning techniques. I am mainly leading two medical projects, i.e., AlignPro and MSKAlign Wukong. We always welcome students, researchers, and engineers from different regions worldwide who have an interest in artificial intelligence techniques (deep learning, machine learning, etc) for real medical and clinical problems. We continue to recruit multiple research assistants and algorithm scientists.
Projects
Medical Multi-View Stereo
Medical Light Field (MLF) aims to provide doctors with a new level of insight into the human body, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous medical conditions. For surgery, it provides surgeons with a more comprehensive view of the surgical site, allowing for more precise and efficient procedures.
