Current surgical education predominantly relies on mentor-apprenticeship, leading to subjective and labor-intensive learning paradigms. Regrettably, this approach detrimentally impacts surgical outcomes, contributing to the loss of approximately 400,000 lives annually due to surgical errors.

In this interdisciplinary study, we strive to use artificial intelligence and computer vision technologies to develop automated and objective state-of-the-art solutions to improve surgical education & evaluation, and feedback, as well as surgical data collection procedures, aiming to alleviate the patient safety concerns.

We use models from simple fully-connected networks to large language models, e.g., ChatGPT to achieve our objective.
1. Literature Review
2. Data Processing & Analysis
3. Artificial Intelligence Modelling
4. Video Editing, Processing & CAD modelling
Required:
* Proficiency in basic deep learning concepts, e.g., convolutional neural networks, fully-connected neural networks, recurrent neural networks.
* Proficiency in coding in Python.
* Proficiency in Tensorflow packages.
* Basic computer skills: open/edit images and videos.
* Microsoft Office skills
* Good communication skills.
* Most importantly curiosity and an open mind

Recommended:
* Experience in PyTorch package.
* Experience in ChatGPT prompt engineering or Large Language Models in general (not a requirement).
* Experience in meta learning, active learning, self-supervised contrastive learning concepts (not a requirement).
* Technical Writing Skills.
* Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop.
* CAD skills.
* Basic understanding of Surgical procedures (not a requirement).
My philosophy is to enhance mentees' learning and comprehension as an "independent researcher". In our interdisciplinary studies, there are no textbook solutions and we figure things out using our own intuition and research capabilities. As a mentor, I will do my best to convey "why" any of what we do matters, "how" do we approach to these interdisciplinary problems and "what" are some solutions we can come up with together.
