Brief Bio
Hi! My name is Jinzheng Cai. I am a senior researcher at PAII-Labs. Before this, I was a Ph.D. student at Department of BioMedical Engineering (BME), University of Florida. My advisor was Dr. Lin Yang, a wonderful teacher, director, and boss. By that time, I worked closely with Dr. Le Lu on radiological medical image analysis. I obtained my bachelor degree of BME from Fudan University in 2013 supervised by Prof. Yu Ma.
My main research interest is developing algorithms to automate medical image analysis for preventive and precision medicine.
