Dr. Tran Quoc Long graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a major in Machine Learning and Computer Science. His research has focused on developing innovative machine learning methods for real-world applications in image processing and signal analysis. Notably, he has worked on medical and biological data analytics, identifying and verifying distinctive data features for the early detection of prostate cancer and ovarian cancer using mass-spectrum analysis of blood serum. Additionally, he developed a machine learning method for the accurate prediction of optimal cancer drug therapies. Currently, his AI lab collaborates with cardiologists at the Vietnam National Heart Institute on AI approaches for echocardiography diagnosis, yielding promising initial results..
