Hongyan Gu

Ph.D. Candidate at UCLA ECE

Email: ghy [at] ucla [dot] edu

My name is Hongyan Gu (Chinese: 谷宏言). I am a final year Ph.D. candidate at UCLA HCI Research advised by Prof. Xiang 'Anthony' Chen. I design, build, deliver, and evaluate computational pathology systems that assist histology analyses, to enhance pathologists' examination efficiency, improve diagnosis reliability, and protect pathologists from over-reliance on AI.

 

My research lies in the cross domains of computational pathology and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), with a focus on brain tumors of meningiomas and gliomas; both present complex histopathological features, making them challenging for neuropathologists to diagnose accurately with histological analyses alone. Recently, I have been conducting multiomics analyses for IDH-mutant astrocytomas.

Before my Ph.D. study, I obtained my MSc. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of California, Los Angeles, and B.Eng. in Control Science and Engineering from Zhejiang University.
