I am a research scientist at Nvidia. I work on a wide range of challenges in computational and efficient healthcare AI including multi-modal models, efficient medical VLMs, autonomous medical agents/robots, AI infrastructure and their translational research to clinical.
From 2022 to 2025, me and my colleagues helped popularize healthcare AI framework: Project MONAI, my works featured Efficient Foundation Models: SwinUNETR and VISTA3D, Generative Models: MAISI, MedSegFactory, Med AI Data Infra: TouchStone/BodyAtlas, and Medical VLMs: VILA-M3.
I'm now leading active projects on reasoning model for medical (RL, CoT) and efficient computing for medical: INT4/8 Post-Training Quantization, FP4/FP8 Quantization-Aware Training and deployment inference engine.
Before Nvidia, I spent great time at Vanderbilt University under Prof. Bennett Landman for PhD. I also worked at Siemens Healthineers as an AI research intern.

Thomas S. Huang 04/2020
I was greatly saddened to learn that Thomas S. Huang passed away, aged 84.
My own experience have no direct relation to professor Huang, but I have known many of his students in a large scale of areas. Professor Huang is known for his kindness, professional research in computer vision.
Professor Huang is a lighthouse in both academia and industry of computer vision, an idle for many young professionals. He was arguably an extreme point. He will very much be missed
