transform a 3D problem into a 2D one without acquiring highly accurate ground truth depth data or precise probe pose estimation sets a new benchmark in the field. The simplified network design allows for real-time application during minimally invasive surgery, achieving an impressive inference time of 50 frames per second. Originally from China, Baoru has been in the UK for eight years and completed her bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, and PhD there. “I really enjoy it –to be honest, I like the weather!” she laughs. Finally, we cannot let Baoru go without asking her about her experiences working with Matina Giannarou, her mentor and now second supervisor at the Hamlyn Centre, who is also a good friend of this magazine. “Matina has lots of enthusiasm for research,” she reveals. “As a female researcher, she gave me tips on balancing research and life and grabbing every chance you can. She’s been the Winter School chair for many years, and then in 2020, she asked me to be the mentor, and since 2021, she’s asked me to be co-chair of the Hamlyn Winter School. She’s really encouraged me.” To learn more about Baoru’s work, visit Poster 1 this afternoon at 13:0014:30 in the Poster Hall and Oral 4 at 14:30-16:00 in Ballroom A– Parallel Hall. 11 DAILY MICCAI Monday Baoru Huang
