About Me
I'm a colorectal surgeon and surgical data scientist building at the intersection of clinical medicine and AI. I develop software tools for preoperative surgical planning and postoperative patient care, and I'm starting a part-time CS PhD at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) with a focus on applying deep learning to surgical video analysis.
