Zhuowen Tu's research has been on the interface of medical imaging, machine learning, statistical modeling/computing, and computer vision. More specifically, his interest is in studying statistical and computational frameworks for discriminative models, generative models, and their relationships; the applications he works are natural/medical image segmentation, object detection/recognition, shape analysis, and manifold learning.
