About Me

Augmented Reality Programmer, Researcher and Enthusiast

I am Long Qian (钱隆). I work as Senior R&D Engineer at Medivis.

Prior to joining Medivis, I obtained Ph.D at the Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University. My research focuses are Augmented Reality and Medical Robotics, supervised by Dr. Peter Kazanzides and Dr. Nassir Navab. I received B.E. at the Department of Electronics Engineering at Tsinghua University, China. [CV]
