Ng Kian Wei

I am a full-time data scientist at National University Health System (NUHS) in Singapore. Within NUHS, I manage the technical research and development portfolio for the NUHS Holomedicine Programme, with a focus on augmented reality, applied computer vision and medical image analysis.

Working closely with clinicians and other healthcare professionals, many of the research output have or are undergoing transitions to clinical validation and early stage trials to prepare for wide-scale implementation and usage within hospitals.

On top of my day job as a data scientist, I am also currently a PhD Student at the National University of Singapore, under the supervision of A/Prof Khoo Eng Tat.
