Ting Xu

ABOUT

Ting Xu received his B.E. in Electrical Engineering and M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from University of Science and Technology of China in 2005 and 2009, respectively, and his Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Lehigh University in 2016. His research interests are computer vision, machine learning and computer graphics, with applications in biological and medical image analysis. Advised by Prof. Xiaolei Huang and Prof. Dimitrios Vavylonis, Ting developed methods and tools for extracting and tracking the geometry and topology of multi-dimensional biopolymer networks from fluorescence microscopy images and time-lapse sequences. He is the developer and maintainer of the SOAX and TSOAX software. Ting currently works as an imaging scientist at Konica Minolta Laboratory in San Mateo, CA.
