Dr. Yi Sun worked in the field of computer assisted surgery planning since 2007. Currently, He is the head of 3D surgical planning lab in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, UZ Leuven. His main professional interest is to integrate 3D technologies in the clinical workflow to develop new medical treatment methods and to carry out clinical research. This involves computer assisted surgical planning, 3D design and 3D printing of surgical template, patient specific implant and image-guided surgery. During his Ph.D research, he was the first to implement computer assisted navigation system in orthognathic surgery clinically. In 2015, he worked together with department of ophthalmology to develop one of the first 3D printed ocular prosthesis. Until now he has successfully completed hundreds of complex reconstructive cases using 3D technology, which improved the surgical accuracy and reduced the surgical time. He published more than 50 articles in peer-reviewed journals and his research interests are 1) Reconstruct large defects in cranio-maxillofacial region; 2) design bio-mimic scaffold for bone regeneration
