Research overview: Zongwei Zhou is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Arizona State University (ASU) supervised by Dr. Jianming Liang, and he will join CCVL as a post-doc at Johns Hopkins University supervised by Dr. Alan Yuille. He has also spent time at Mayo Clinic, University of California, Berkeley, and Université de Montréal. Zongwei holds a perfect GPA (4.0/4.0) and receives the University Graduate Fellowship from ASU. Drawing upon the realms of biomedical informatics, computer vision, and deep learning, his research focuses on developing novel methodologies to minimize the annotation efforts for computer-aided diagnosis, therapy, and surgery. In addition to 11 US patents pending, Zongwei has published 4 peer-reviewed clinical abstracts and over 10 peer-reviewed journal/conference articles, two of which have received the MICCAI Young Scientist Award and Elsevier-MedIA Best Paper Award. Two of his journal publications have been ranked as the most popular articles in IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging and the highest-cited article in EJNMMI Research. Furthermore, Zongwei has been awarded as the co-PI from the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE), funded by NSF. In addition to his extensive research and publication activities, Zongwei plays an active role in the leading societies of the computer vision and medical imaging field. He serves as a reviewer of IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell. (TPAMI), Med Image Anal (MedIA), IEEE Trans. Med Imaging (TMI), etc. and he was the program committee for MICCAI in 2020, 2021; AAAI in 2020, 2021.
