Xinyue Huang

Chicago, IL

I am a PhD student in Biomedical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University. I work in the Ultrasound Imaging and Therapeutics Research Lab, advised by Dr. Stanislav Emelianov. During my PhD, I also earned a MS degree in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology, with a specialization in Machine Learning, and I have interned with the Sensors Team at Meta Reality Labs.

My research focuses on ultrasound-based imaging techniques, including ultrasound, photoacoustic, elasticity, and Doppler imaging. I believe that ultrasound is a versatile tool capable of revealing far more information than we thought. I use signal and image processing and learning-based techniques to develop new imaging methods and applications for multi-scale hemodynamic assessment.

Before joining GT/Emory, I completed my undergraduate studies in Biomedical Engineering at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, co-advised by Dr. Puxiang Lai and Dr. Chunyi Wen. I then earned my master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, co-advised by Dr. Kai Ding and Dr. Muyinatu Bell.

I am originally from China, born in the south and raised in the northeast.
