Hello, World!
I am

Yuhua Chen

a Ph.D. student of Bioengineering at University California, Los Angeles,
and research student of Biomedical Imaging Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
My area includes deep learning, magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and medical image analysis.

About Me

Who I am ?

I am a researcher/developer/technology enthusiast, eager to bring latest techniques to biomedical industry, aiming to let people have easily accessible, more accurate, personalized, and affordable healthcare service.

With a strong background in both biomedical engineering and artificial intelligence, I am doing my best to crack down the most unsolved and challenging issues in magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) by translating deep artificial neural networks a.k.a deep learning into biomedical science.

I am also a coding zealot. I found my passion for programming when I was in high school. Ever since then, I designed and built many cool pieces of stuff, from small and simple android apps to complicated parallel computing.

What I Do ?

I have a love of clean and elegant design, not only for how the product shows apparently but also for the inner structure of codes and styling. As a computer science graduate, I have made a lot of different application on variant platforms. And for a research student, I also have insights of scientific algorithm developing and implementation.
