About Ju Zhang
Ju Zhang, cofounder of Formus Labs, has been discussing the company's approach to personalized orthopedic surgery. In a late 2025 podcast appearance, Zhang stated that the company builds its own AI models and cloud software, and that it owns the data used to train those models across multiple imaging modalities and joints. He described the company's goal as making personalized surgical planning scalable by creating digital twins from CT scans and integrating soft tissue and biomechanics data into robotic systems. Zhang noted that Formus Labs operates a SaaS business model and partners with companies such as Zimmer Biomet. In a 2021 academic presentation, Zhang discussed challenges in developing lithium metal negative electrodes for next-generation batteries, including dendrite formation, stability issues, and the need for solid electrolytes and improved manufacturing processes for ultra-thin lithium foils. He emphasized the importance of controlling electrochemical reduction potential and developing low-cost, high-stability electrolyte systems for industrial-scale deployment.
