Howdy! My name is Xi Fang and I am a PhD student at the biomedical engineering department of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Before coming to RPI, I obtained Bachelor’s degree in Information Security from the School of Computing at Wuhan University. During my undergraduate period, I conducted two internships and got accessed to lots of cutting-edge technologies and state-of-the-art theories relevant to medical imaging and image processing. I am now a research assistant in Deep Imaging Analysitc Lab.

Research Interest

I work in the field of medical image analysis, I focus on the following research topics:
