How their research is transforming health care
Wang’s research is centered on advanced cyber-infrastructure, including software-defined infrastructure, cloud computing, data-intensive computing, and artificial intelligence. His research aims at realizing a future computing paradigm that is highly customized, seamlessly automated, and effectively connects people to insights in different application contexts. In health care, his focus is on creation of the technology foundations that will allow rich varieties of data (clinical, social, environmental, demographical) to be flexibly collected, disseminated, computed, and presented to aid individuals, societies, and policy bodies to make decisions that promote better health. In collaboration with Prisma Health and MUSC physicians, KC and his students are exploring the power of AI and ultrasound medical imaging for deeper understanding of a range of health issues. Wang is PI of multiple national computing infrastructure (FABRIC, CloudLab) that enables highly programmable applications from the Internet edge (personal devices, Internet of Things, smart cities and buildings) to the core (cloud data centers and data repositories). Wang’s research will transform the health care practice, connecting patients to doctors, rich knowledge, and medical services via advanced and secure compute, network, and data infrastructure.
