Summary
Xingxing Liu is a Staff Software Engineer with a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and nine years of experience applying computer vision and medical image processing to surgical navigation. Currently at Abbott, she develops computer graphics for catheter-guided surgical platforms, building on doctoral research that produced a 3D spine visualization and tool-tracking navigation system. Her background spans GPU-accelerated image processing, deep learning for 3D angiography segmentation, and cross-domain spine segmentation and fluorescence-to-color registration algorithms. Proficient in C#, MATLAB, JavaScript, Unity, 3D Slicer/ImageJ and 3D CAD/printing, she blends research-grade algorithm design with production-focused engineering. She gained practical acceleration experience using CUDA at Alcon and has a track record of internships and collaborations across Philips, Peking University and international labs. Beyond technical depth, she pairs hands-on prototyping (including GUI and 3D printing work) with a clear focus on translating cutting-edge research into safer, more accurate surgical tools.
