HCR: Hair Cutting Robot 3D Learning Simulator

active2026

Mentor · Research Team Lead

An adaptive coding game platform for programming a five-joint hair-cutting robot in the browser. Learners arrange Blockly commands while a computerized adaptive testing engine adjusts challenge difficulty and a deterministic digital twin refuses any movement that would reach the head. Built by Pmine Research at Field of Dream Studio.

PulmoSight: Lung Cancer Rapid Screening & Triage

active2026

Project Instructor · Advisor

A cross-institutional PolyU–HKUST student research prototype for AI-assisted chest CT review. PulmoSight is designed to flag suspicious lung nodules, classify risk, segment high-risk regions, and produce structured outputs that help clinical teams prioritise cases for physician review. It is a triage-support instrument, not an autonomous diagnostic system or replacement for clinical judgement.
