👋 Welcome!
I am an incoming PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California, supervised by Prof. C.-C. Jay Kuo.
Previously, I was a Visiting Research Student in the Department of Radiology at Harvard Medical School & Massachusetts General Hospital supervised by Prof. Jonghye Woo, and in the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology at The University of Hong Kong supervised by Prof. Chun Man Lawrence Lau.
I received my M.S. degree from the Graduate Institute of Biomedical Electronics and Bioinformatics, National Taiwan University, where I was co-supervised by Prof. Chung-Ping Chen and Prof. Wen-Shiang Chen.
My research interests include Medical AI, Computer Vision, Bioengineering, and Bioinformatics.
You can find my CV here: Jyun Ping Kao’s Curriculum Vitae. If you are interested in my work, please feel free to drop me an email (jjpkao@gmail.com).
