I am a second-year PhD student in Computer Science at Vanderbilt University, advised by Dr. Jie Ying Wu at MAPLE Labs, where we develop algorithms to advance systems, environments, and their interactions in the realm of robot-assisted surgeries. My research interests are at the intersection of 3D vision, graphics, and robotics to enhance and develop computer-assisted interventions in minimally invasive surgeries. My current research explores ways to create realistic surgical simulations via 3D style transfer and to automate robotic surgical tasks via end-to-end learning. My hobbies include playing musical instruments, golfing, and traveling.

For collaboration, party invites, or any inquiries, please contact me at john.j.han@vanderbilt.edu. I would love to get to know you and your work.
