About

Jinao Zhang, PhD

Jinao (Jake) Zhang is a Medical AI/ML Engineer specializing in AI-driven innovations for medical imaging. He designs AI/ML solutions to optimize diagnostic workflows and advance precision healthcare.

Prior to his current role, he held positions as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Senior Research Officer in the Biomechatronics, Robotics, and Automated Systems (BmRAS) Lab at Monash University, Australia. There, he contributed to interdisciplinary projects integrating AI, biomechanics, and robotics to develop next-generation medical technologies. He earned his PhD from RMIT University for his work on "Real-time Simulation of Soft Tissue Deformation for Surgical Simulation". He also holds a First-Class Honours Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from the same university.

His research spans Medical AI, Biomechanics, and Medical Image Analysis, with applications in diagnostic automation, minimally invasive surgery, and patient-specific modelling.
