I'm Junzhe "Young" Wang | 王俊哲.
I’m a PhD student at
Rice University, I
am fortunate to be advised by
Dr. Ashok Veeraraghavan. My research interests include computational imaging and its biomedical
applications, with a focus on improving healthcare outcomes and making a tangible impact.
I am also a proud two-time alumnus of
Dalhousie University. During my master’s, I had the privilege of working with
Dr. Robert Adamson. I worked on the development and commercialization of the first clinical middle-ear OCT
system (ME-OCT), for which I was honored with the
Governor General's Gold Medal. I also had the opportunity to work in
Dr. Vincent Sieben's lab on ocean sensing with microfluidic pumps during my undergraduate.

Clinical Applications of Handheld Middle Ear Optical Coherence Tomography (ME-OCT) with Live Volumetric Visualization: Clinical Applications of 4D ME-OCT
Otology & Neurotology, 2024
A custom-built OCT system enabling continuous 4D imaging of the middle ear for clinical applications such as the
Valsalva maneuver, partial ossicular prosthesis (PORP), and cochlear implant (CI) surgeries.

Improved Middle Ear Imaging with Optical Coherence Tomography for Clinical Otology
Dalhousie University, 2023
This thesis introduces two approaches to enhance middle ear OCT visualization: a convolutional basis pursuit framework to reduce sidelobe artifacts and a topical glycerol treatment to improve visualization for postoperative ear.

Geometrically Accurate Real-time Volumetric Visualization of the Middle Ear Using Optical Coherence Tomography
Biomedical Optics Express, 2023
We present a handheld system for live, geometrically accurate volumetric middle ear OCT imaging. Using a discretized spiral scanning (DC-SC) pattern, the system rapidly acquires data and corrects geometric distortions.

Transtympanic Visualization of Cochlear Implant Placement with Optical Coherence Tomography: A Pilot Study
Otology & Neurotology, 2022
This study evaluates the ability of transtympanic middle ear optical coherence tomography (ME-OCT) to assess
placement of cochlear implants (CIs) in situ.

Optical Clearing Agents for Optical Imaging Through Cartilage Tympanoplasties: A Preclinical Feasibility Study
Otology & Neurotology, 2022
Optical clearing agents (OCAs) can render cartilage tympanoplasty grafts sufficiently transparent to
permit visualization of middle ear structures in an operated ear using optical coherence tomography (OCT)
imaging.

Convolutional Dictionary Learning for Blind Deconvolution of Optical Coherence Tomography Images
Biomedical Optics Express, 2022
In this study, we demonstrate a sparsity-regularized, complex, blind deconvolution method for removing sidelobe
artefacts and stochastic noise from optical coherence tomography (OCT) images.
