Qiang Zhang

Postdoctoral Researcher

Machine Learning in Medical Imaging

My research has been focused on bridging between machine learning (especially deep learning) techniques and cardiovascular research, by translating cardiovascular problems into computing models, and automating cardiovascular data processing with machine learning algorithms. The goal is to reduce the workload of clinicians, to help understand the pattern of diseases, and to improve the diagnostic accuracy.
