Nan Meng
Principle Scientist of CONOVA
Manager of CONOVA (Beijing)
Senior Researcher and Engineer (HKU)
Co-director of Digital Health Laboratory
Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Medicine School, the University of Hong Kong.
Nan Meng received his B.S. degree (with distinction) in 2015 in Computer Science from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), and his Ph.D. degree in 2020 in Electric and Electronic Engineering from The University of Hong Kong. At HKU, he conducted research for image-based cancer diagnosis and released the first large-scale dataset for human somatic bright-field cells. He also conducted research for Light Field Reconstruction in Imaging Systems Laboratory supervised by Prof. Edmund Y. Lam. During his Ph.D., he has consulted for an AI company in the areas of multi-view imaging systems and HKU Medicine School about medical image processing and analysis. After graduation, Dr. Meng joined the Digital Health Laboratory in HKU as a researcher and engineer.
His research interests include computational optics and imag-ing, from algorithms to applications and medical image analysis. His research direction includes light-field reconstruction, view synthesis, depth estimation and medical imaging.
I am currently a senior researcher and engineer in HKU O&T Department, focusing on intelligent solutions for bone disease using deep learning techniques. I am mainly leading two medical projects, i.e., AlignPro and MSKAlign Wukong. We always welcome students, researchers, and engineers from different regions worldwide who have an interest in artificial intelligence techniques (deep learning, machine learning, etc) for real medical and clinical problems. We continue to recruit multiple research assistants and algorithm scientists.
