Current Projects
Austin Radiology project
Project Mentor: Stefan Kachel (AI consultant at the Austin Radiology AI Lab, Austin Hospital)
Project Leads: Rory Zhang and Cheng Xie
This project involves building and testing machine learning algorithms and software applications that assists in radiology research and clinical workflow at the Austin Hospital.
Brain computer interface
Project Mentor: Dr Sam John
Project Leads: Po Liu and Carl Xing
We look to decode neural information by using machine learning algorithms to extract EEG neurosignal features to control external electronics with the aim of building a hands-free system to hypothetically allow disabled people to acquire some independence.
Western health colorectal surgery app
Project Mentor: A/Prof Justin Yeung, Prof Paul Baird, Ms Janan Arslan, Dr Reuben Schmidt
Project Leads: Edmond Lu
We aim to build an app that provides clinician UI and patient UI to communicate management plans and other educational / therapeutic content to enhance care for patients undergoing colorectal surgery at Western Health with emphasis on its culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) demographic.
