Biography

I am Shihao Zeng, an upcoming PhD student and Research Assistant at AIM lab, HKU. I hold a BEng degree in Biomedical Engineering (1st honour, class rank #2) from the University of Hong Kong in 2024. My research interests are chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI, CEST simulation, and deep learning for medical imaging. I am exploring Bloch-McConnell equation simulations and analytical solutions, as well as quantitative CEST and associated acquisition schemes and sequences. I am also focusing on clinical translations of CEST imaging, particularly on ischemic / hemorrhagic stroke and small vessel diseases. I am looking forward to highly efficient molecular imaging capabilities in the clinic for fast and evident diagnosis of strokes, as well as novel approach to demystify underlying mechanisms in brain metabolism and pathophysiologies.

Deep learning for lung Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) reconstruction, supervised by Dr. Adrien Touboul & Dr. Russell W. Chan

  • prepared training data from FEM simulation of lung CT dataset, augmented by mimicking respiration stages
  • trained an end-to-end VAE model on simulated data, and transferred to EIT readout from a commercial portable EIT device
  • recruited subjects for in-house lung EIT assessment
  • evaluated EIT derived lung function indicators by spirometry indicators collected simultaneously. achieved improvement over traditional reconstruction.
  • managed AWS CPU & GPU servers for multi-thread FEM simulation and deep learning training
