About me

Hello! I’m Wenhao Gu, a PhD student at Johns Hopkins University, part of the ARCADE lab in the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR). My work combines technology and healthcare, focusing on improving surgeries with mixed reality. Under the guidance of my advisor, Mathias Unberath, I aim to create mixed reality workflows that make surgical procedures more precise and effective with computer vision and human-centered design.
