Projects

  • 2021-present
    Longitudinal Brain Atlases Construction via implicit neural representation.
    • Alleviated the temporal inconsistency issue caused by independently averaging brain images at discrete time points in existing longitudinal atlas construction methods.
    • Formulated the time inconsistency issue as a 4D image denoising task, and used implicit neural representation to construct continuous and noise-free longitudinal brain atlases.
    • Improved temporal consistency while maintaining accurate representation of brain structures on two modalities of brain atlases (QSM and fetus atlases).
    • Generated finer 4D atlases with higher temporal resolution (e.g., 0.5-week interval).
  • 2021-present
    Robust Self-supervised 3D Fetal Brain MRI Reconstruction.
    • Tackled the issue of corrupted reconstruction of the fetal brain caused by slice misalignment and blurring of the brain anatomy due to severe motion during MR data collection.
    • Combined the MRI acquisition model and a Deep Decoder network to effectively reduce the image artifacts resulting from slice misalignment and motion.
    • Outperformed SOTA methods (SVRTK, NiftyMIC, and SSGNN) in five metrics, including a 24% improvement in PSNR, on both simulated and clinical data.
  • 2021-present
    Self-supervised Slice-to-Volume Registration for Severe Fetal Motion.
    • Focused on the challenging task of Slice-to-Volume Registration (SVR), which aligns the slices with severe inter-slice motion to the correct position in the volume.
    • Incorporated the MRI acquisition model into the SVR network to accurately predict the spatial transformation matrix aligning 2D slices to 3D volumes.
    • Achieved SOTA accuracy of SVR, and improved the performance of downstream fatal MRI reconstruction (based on NeSVoR, etc.) on both simulated and clinical data.
  • 2021
    Longitudinal Infant Brain MRI Segmentation.
    • Investigated different segmentation model designs and extended DenseNet to 3D volumetric data to perform 3D volumetric segmentation.
    • Achieved dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 90.325% of three brain tissues across five time points.

Experience

  • 2020-2021
    Research Intern
    NSB BLCTO Technology Vision&Architecture, Bell Labs
    • Proposed a behavior recognition method based on meta-learning using WiFi channel state information(CSI).
    • Adapted to new environments rapidly, as demonstrated by its superior performance on two public datasets and real-world data compared to traditional supervised learning methods.
