Junde Wu is an AI researcher, builder, and founder focused on healthcare-grade machine learning, holding a PhD from Oxford and over nine years in AI with five years dedicated to clinical applications. He co-founded Baidu Healthcare Group, led development of an FDA Class III–certified AI medical device for eye screening, and earned industry recognition including an AAAI Most Influential Paper and CVPR Best Paper nomination. As founder of Panoptes Group he built a checkout-free grocery vision system that was acquired by SenseTime and later commercialized into million-dollar deployments, and he now leads the Super Medical Intelligence Lab with active open-source work such as MedSegDiff—advancing diffusion-based medical image segmentation. His portfolio blends deep research (40+ papers, 1,300+ citations) with product delivery, clinical validation, and commercialization, evidencing a rare ability to move models from publication to regulated, revenue-generating systems. Based in the UK, he pairs hands-on ML engineering with strategic leadership across startups, large tech, and finance consulting.
