About me
My name is Ruirui (Annie) Hunag, and I am a combined BS/MSE student at Johns Hopkins University majoring in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics and Statistics, and Robotics. My research spans robot control, computational biology, and computer vision, but the common focus has always been the same: developing robust, open-source, computational methods that translate complex, high-dimensional data into precise, clinically actionable insights.
