Dr. Hung is a surgeon-scientist renowned for his pioneering work at the intersection of surgery and artificial intelligence. His research has led to the quantification of surgical performance, allowing for reliable prediction of patient outcomes.

A graduate of Yale University with a Bachelor of Science with honors, Dr. Hung completed his medical education at Weill Medical College of Cornell University, where he also received honors in research. He completed his urology residency and a fellowship in advanced laparoscopy and robotics at the University of Southern California, where he later served on the faculty for nine years and attained tenure. In 2023, he joined the Department of Urology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center as Vice Chair for Academic Development.

With over $10 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Hung is an internationally recognized leader in developing automated surgeon performance metrics for robotic surgery. He collaborates with AI scientists at Caltech and Cedars-Sinai to use deep learning algorithms for automating skills assessment and predicting surgical outcomes.

His groundbreaking papers on surgical assessment and training have been published in top journals, including Nature Biomedical Engineering, JAMA Surgery, and the Journal of Urology. Dr. Hung was the first Consulting Editor on Artificial Intelligence for the British Journal of Urology International and serves on multiple advisory panels worldwide. He is a standing member of the National Institutes of Health study section on Image-guided Interventions and Surgery and a member of the United Kingdom's Responsible AI Advisory Board.
