About Me

I am Wanwen Chen (陈婉雯), a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Robotics and Control Lab, the University of British Columbia, advised by Dr. Tim Salcudean. My research interests include augmented reality for surgery, ultrasound-based diagnosis, and medical image analysis. I am investigating the potential of ultrasound in transoral robotic surgery, working closely with the Vancouver General Hospital.

I have a M.S. in Robotics from the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Dr. John Galeotti. Before joining CMU, I received a B.S. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from Peking University, where I worked with Dr. Qining Wang. I visited Biomechatronics Lab at the University of California, Los Angeles, advised by Dr. Veronica J. Santos for the Cross-disciplinary Scholars in Science and Technology (CSST) in 2018.

Outside research, you can find me skiing, running, biking, hiking, and hitting the gym. I also enjoy good books and coffee.

News: I am organizing the Data Curation and Augmentation in Medical Imaging Workshop at CVPR 2024!
