Po-Chih Kuo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), Taiwan. He earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from National Chiao Tung University (NCTU). He is currently also a Research Affiliate at the Laboratory for Computational Physiology (LCP) at MIT.

He has held several prestigious research positions, including postdoctoral fellowships at Academia Sinica’s Institute of Statistical Science (2016–2019) and the Institute for Medical Engineering & Science at MIT (2019–2020). He was also a visiting student at the Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience at the University of California, San Diego (2015–2016), and has undertaken visiting appointments at the Institute of Statistical Mathematics in Tokyo (2017), the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine at Forschungszentrum Jülich (2019), and the Department of Radiology at Emory University (2024).

Dr. Kuo currently leads the Human-Centered Machine Intelligence Lab as Principal Investigator. His research focuses on trustworthy AI for medical applications and computational neuroimaging. His work emphasizes not only high-performance models but also explainability, robustness, and fairness in AI systems. His team has extensive experience in medical imaging, working across modalities such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, and multimodal data.

In addition, his research bridges neuroscience and artificial intelligence through modalities such as EEG, MEG, and fMRI. His group investigates how the brain processes spatial information and leverages these insights to advance AI systems. Building on strong expertise in brain decoding, Dr. Kuo leads interdisciplinary efforts at the intersection of neuroscience and AI, aiming to push the boundaries of both fields.
