Work Description
I head the Medical Visualisation group at the TU Delft.
Our research is formulated along two lines:
- Visualization for surgical planning.
- Visual analysis of medical data.
My activities include but are not limited to the following:
- Developing new research ideas and getting them funded.
- Advising M.Sc. and Ph.D. students.
- Authoring research articles and other literature.
- Developing and evaluating new visualisation and imaging algorithms and systems.
- Teaching at the undergrad and postgrad level.
- Not dealing with email-overload.

The new IPython Notebook is gorgeous:

You can have all of this in your DRE installation thanks to the integrated PIP. Follow this easy recipe, and let me know how it went on the mailing list or in the comments to this post.
Get warned before crashing: The DeVIDE Memory Monitor!

With large datasets and complex networks, DeVIDE requires (much) more memory. At some point, you try to allocate just a few hundred megabytes more, and then you’re sitting there staring at the command prompt: DeVIDE has crashed due to your system running out of more memory to give it.
There’s not all that much we can do about this. However, with the new memory monitor (see screenshot below), you should at least not be that surprised anymore:
Memory monitor, showing you total (physical + swap) memory usage on your system.
To upgrade your DeVIDE 12.2.7 installation to a development snapshot, follow these not-so-simple instructions.
DeVIDE 12.2.7 sees the light of day!

Ok people, it finally happened! We have managed to squeeze out a brand-new “stable” release of DeVIDE, about 2.5 years since the previous one.
First check the list of major changes since the previous release, then go to the website frontpage to see if you agree with the list of features that we have compiled, then download yer binaries from the downloads page!
Enjoy!
- p.s. Please send me nice screenshots. Stories of how you’re using the software would also be awesome.
- p.p.s. Don’t forget to cite the DeVIDE paper if you find it useful in your work.
Students!
If you are an M.Sc. student looking for a final project in the exciting field of Medical Visualisation, please send me a mail so we can have a chat about what's available. We collaborate with a number of academic hospitals, so there are always challenging and interesting problems to solve. B.Sc. project students are also welcome, we have more interesting problems than we have people!
Also see the list of current medical visualisation projects for possibilities.
