Kaiwen Li

Hi, I'm a second-year Master's student at the Biomedical Imaging and Vision (BIV) Lab, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, advised by Professor Zhao Wang. My goal is to design innovative medical imaging systems and leverage artificial intelligence to advance medicine.

I'm also a visiting student researcher at the Institute of Bioinformatics, Jiangnan University, where I'm advised by Professor Xing Chen. There, I use computational methods for drug-related research.

I enjoy the process of integrating hardware and software to create complex systems, and I take pleasure in training deep learning networks for clinical applications. My research interests include but are not limited to:

  • Medical image analysis
  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
  • Multimodal imaging system
  • Bioinformatics
  • Drug-related prediction

Projects


  Analysis of Anterior segment-OCT (AS-OCT) images based on Multitask learning  | Using deep learning methods to automatically assess the AS-OCT images

  • Built a dataset of AS-OCT images from 200 patients.
  • Proposed the first multitask deep learning method for simultaneous segmentation and landmark detection in AS-OCT images, whose performance is comparable to advanced physicians.
  • Our method outputs five segmentation masks including the cornea, iris, lens, ICL and IOL, and two landmark detection targets including SS and IR. Compared to previous work, we are the first to include almost all of the important structures in the anterior segment.
  • Designed an automatic method to perform refraction correction for accurate quantification in AS-OCT images.
  • Implemented automatic assessment of anterior segment by measuring comprehensive clinical parameters for diagnosis, surgery planning, and post-surgery assessment.

  Prediction of the frequencies of drug side effects

  • Proposed a new deep-learning network for predicting the frequencies of drug side effects by using similarity information and drug molecular structure features, achieving state-of-the-art results.
  • Designed a framework for case study by performing association prediction followed by frequency prediction of drug side effects for real-world applications.
  • Designed a new loss function that improves the method's ability to discriminate between discrete regression targets.

  Robot-assisted wide-field OCT system  | Combining a robot arm with a wide-field OCT system for fast and accurate 3D imaging and modeling of objects

  • Designed and built a wide-field OCT system and mounted the sample arm of the OCT system on a 6-axis robotic arm.
  • Implemented the postprocessing of data and real-time display of images.
  • Demonstrated system performance for in vivo imaging of entire human faces and generated human face point cloud for accurate surface reconstruction.
