Yunhe Li

Medical Physics Research Associate

I am a Medical Physics Research Associate at the University of Western Australia. My work centers on creating automated workflows for large-scale multi-modal image processing, including data management pipelines for the FIG glioblastoma trial, 3D Slicer-based tools for PET/MR registration and feature extraction, and AI-driven autosegmentation validation. I specialize in translating AI and computational methods into practical tools for clinical trial analysis and neuro-oncology research.
