Contact: zhenyu.yang893@duke.edu

His research focus is applying the cutting-edge AI techniques in medical image analysis. He is especially interested in developing novel deep learning models, machine learning models, and radiomics models to lung cancer prognosis prediction, lung function prediction, brain tumor segmentation, etc. His teaching interests at Duke Kunshan include photon radiation therapy, medical image analysis, nuclear medicine, etc.

He has published 11 peer-reviewed articles in both the medical physics and physics fields on Medical Physics, Physical Review E, etc. He also has 17 conference abstracts, including 8 oral presentations, at annual meetings of the Radiosurgery Society (RSS) and the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM). Zhenyu also received the Best Abstract Award of the AAPM annual meeting, the John R. Cameron Young Investigator Competition Finalist of the AAPM annual meeting, and the Members in Training Research Achievement Awards of the RSS annual meeting.

Zhenyu has a Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics from Southeast University, a Master of Science degree in Medical Physics from Duke Kunshan University, and a Ph.D. degree in Medical Physics from Duke University.

Adjunct Faculty (Involved in teaching or mentoring of Duke Kunshan University students)
Hongqi Zhang, PhD

Professor of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Fudan University

Professor Zhang’s has been teaching anatomy and physiology for more than 30 years. His main research interests focus on cardiovascular remodeling and its mechanism. In recent years, research interest has shifted into the study of telocyte. By the method of electron microscope, telocytes were firstly found in the blood, bone marrow, arterial wall, venous wall and dura mater etc.
