My name is Kun Yuan, a Ph.D. student, co-supervised by Prof. Nicolas PADOY (Université de Strasbourg) and Prof. Nassir NAVAB (Technische Universität München). My research focus is AI in healthcare, especially designing computer vision-based algorithms to build multiple applications in laparoscopic and robotic surgeries. I am also interested in the multi-moidality learning with vision and language in the surgical applications. I am always open to collaboration. Feel free to drop me an e-mail.
