Xinzhou Li, PhD

Dr. Xinzhou Li received his Ph.D. from UCLA, where his research focused on developing real-time technologies for MRI-guided interventions, such as targeted biopsy and focal ablation. His projects included designing motion tracking and prediction algorithms for computer-assisted navigation during interventional procedures, as well as creating deep learning-based methods for real-time tissue and device detection and tracking. Prior to UCLA, he earned his B.S. in Bioengineering and Mechanical Engineering from Pennsylvania State University in the winter of 2014. As an undergraduate, he worked on the design of an “IV Therapy UV-C Light Disinfecting Device” sponsored by B. Braun Medical and conducted research under Dr. Corina Drapaca and Dr. Thomas Neuberger to prototype a needle-based mechanical driver for MR elastography.
