Talk recording

Nowadays, the development of biomedical field is inseparable from computer science technologies, in which computer vision technology plays an important role. As a computer vision researcher, Shuohong will introduce two of her representative works since her doctoral stage: how to use computer vision technology to track large-scale Drosophila swarms in 3D and analyze their collective behavior, and how to process nanoscale Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images of mouse cerebellum and conduct developmental connectomics research.
About the speaker
Back to her PhD study in Fudan University, China, her research was focused on biomedical image data analysis, including 2D/3D multi-object tracking, computer-aided diagnosis systems, etc. After graduation she joined Lichtman Lab in 2017. In Lichtman Lab she is working on developing and improving methods to process large scale Scanning Electron Microscopy datasets for connectomics study (TB to PB level). In addition, she is collaborating with neuroscientists in the lab to analyze the brain network at synapse-level.
