A research program focused on early detection and epidemiological research on skin cancer. We have been developing artificial intelligence and traditional machine learning methods for detecting skin cancer from photographs taken by digital cameras and smartphones. In order to complement the above technique, a melanoma probe based on polarization speckle was developed. The research team also investigates the prognosis and risk factors of melanoma.
