Juo-Tung (Justin) Chen
I am a 1st-year PhD Student @ Johns Hopkins University in Mechanical Engineering, advised by Axel Krieger in the Intelligent Medical Robotic Systems and Equipment Lab (IMERSE).
I received my Master's degree in Robotics from JHU and my Bachelor's degree in Biomechatronics Engineering from National Taiwan University. During my masters, I worker in Intuitive Computing Lab advised by Chien-Ming Huang , and during my undergrad, I worked in Robots and Medical Mechatronics Lab (RMML) advised by Ping-Lang Yen.
Research Interest
I am interested in bridging the gap between surgical robot and robot learning. My research goal is to develop an AI surgeon capable of autonomously performing long-horizon surgical tasks.
