Henwei huang
Roboticist & Mechanical Engineer
R
I'm an Instructor (Faculty of Medicine) in the Division of Gastroenterology, Department of Medicine at Harvard medical school (HMS), an Associate Scientist at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, and a Visiting Scientist at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT. Prior to starting the faculty position at HMS in 2021, I was a postdoctoral researcher at MIT Langer Lab and Traverso Lab. I obtained my Ph.D. from the Institute of Robotics and Intelligent Systems, ETH Zurich in 2018. My research interests include wireless sensor networks (WSN), personalized medicine, mobile health, and robotics for translational medicine.
