About Me

Hello there! 👋 I’m Tony Danjun Wang (王丹君), a PhD student at the Chair of Computer-Aided Medical Procedures (CAMP) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), supervised by Prof. Nassir Navab. I specialize in 3D Computer Vision and Surgical Data Science.

Outside of academics I am passionate about music 🎹 and have played the piano actively for over 14 years, winning several competitions. Sports are also a big part of my life; I worked as a swim coach and continue to swim actively 🏊. Additionally, my commitment to helping others extends beyond the pool as I am also a trained paramedic 🚑! •ᴗ•
