About Hula Lab: Dr. Hien Nguyen, an award-winning assistant professor, is the director of the Hula lab. Under his leadership, the lab has received over $ 1 million of government funding in the last two years. Hula has attracted six Ph.D. students, one of which has recently graduated with ten peer-reviewed publications. Our research focuses on developing novel machine learning and image analysis tools to address pressing challenges in medicine and healthcare. Hula has invested over half a million dollars in computing equipment (high-performing GPU and CPU clusters) to allow our students to prototype algorithms and visualize the results at high speed and scale. We work closely with experts at the #1 cancer center in the world (MD Anderson Cancer Center) and some of the best hospitals in the U.S. (Houston Methodist, Baylor College of Medicine).
