Ronald Chih-Jung Huang, M.D.

I am a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and burn intensivist at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, and a Ph.D. student in Biomedical Informatics at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU). From October 2026 to October 2027 I am a Visiting Senior Researcher at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, a research fellowship with mentor Prof. Alex A. Kane at the Analytical Imaging and Modeling (AIM) Center, Children’s Health, on AI for craniofacial and pediatric plastic surgery.

My clinical practice spans acute and reconstructive burn care, rhinoplasty, craniofacial surgery, and microsurgery. Alongside the operating room, I build clinically grounded AI — translating problems I meet at the bedside into models that are actually usable: burn wound segmentation and TBSA estimation, inhalation-injury risk prediction, craniofacial / orthognathic image analysis, and quantitative rhinoplasty planning.

I lead the VDI (Visual-Driven Intelligence) Lab @ CGMH Burn Center — a joint effort between the Linkou Chang Gung Burn Center, NYCU, and Chang Gung University — where we develop vision, language, and multimodal models for burn and reconstructive care. You can explore the lab and its live AI demos on the lab site.
