Andrew J. Hung, M.D.

Andrew J. Hung Robotics Lab- Andrew J. Hung

Dr. Hung is internationally recognized as a leader in the development of innovative surgical simulation and assessment technologies. To train the next generation of urologic surgeons, he developed the first-ever procedure-specific simulation for robotic surgery. Supported by both industry and the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Hung has also become a leading innovator in the development of automated performance metrics for robotic surgery. His collaboration with data scientists at USC and Caltech has harnessed deep learning algorithms to better predict robotic surgical outcomes and to automate surgeon skills assessment.
