Dr. Wong is a biomedical engineer who specializes in developing new imaging systems and methods for the visualization of human disease. He received his Magnetic Resonance (MR) physics training at Columbia University in New York City, and in 2005, he joined the Functional and Molecular Imaging Center of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the HCNR Center of Bioinformatics in the Harvard Medical School as a Postdoctoral Fellow. In 2007, he joined the Houston Methodist Research Institute and is a faculty member of Weill Cornell Medicine since 2008.  

Dr. Wong’s current research interests focus on machine learning and deep learning in medical imaging. He is a Director of neuroimaging at TT and WF Chao Center for BRAIN for neurological disorders. His laboratory specialized in using deep learning derived features in addition to clinical features from electronic medical records for outcome prediction. Some examples include deep genomic features for glioblastoma patient survival modeling, deep imaging features for stroke patient outcome modeling.
