Biography
Dr. Sai Kam Hui received his Bachelor’s degree in medical engineering (2005) and Doctor of Philosophy’s degree in electrical and electronic engineering (2009) from The University of Hong Kong.
Dr. Hui received his postdoctoral training in MRI from three different institutes in the United States, namely the Methodist Hospital at Houston (2009), The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (2010), and the Medical University of South Carolina (2011). He was appointed as Research Assistant Professor at The Center for Biomedical Imaging, Medical University of South Carolina in 2012. He left the United States in 2013.
Dr. Hui returned to Hong Kong and joined the Department of Diagnostic Radiology, The University of Hong Kong, as Research Assistant Professor between 2013 and 2020. He was appointed as Assistant Professor of Rehabilitation Sciences at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University between 2020 and 2022.
Dr. Hui joined the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2022 and has since held a joint appointment between the Department of Imaging and Interventional Radiology, and Department of Psychiatry with funding support from Lui Che Woo Institute of Innovative Medicine as Assistant Professor. He is also the Director of the Research Center for Medical Imaging Computing.

Research Interests
Dr. Hui’s overall goals are to develop neuroimaging biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis, and to fill the critical knowledge in the neuroarchitectural underpinnings of stroke recovery using advanced magnetic resonance imaging and medical image analysis methods. He is also keenly interested in developing artificial intelligence (AI) models to aid clinical decision making. Dr. Hui is currently developing AI models, including foundation models and large language models, for automatic generation of annotated radiology reports for chest X-ray applications.
