This page is no longer maintained. I accepted a position at the University of Bergen as a researcher. Please find my current personal page here.

Overview

After working as a radiographer for three years, I decided to study Computer Science (Media and Knowledge Engineering track) at the TU Delft. Since April 2012 I worked as a PhD candidate in the field of medical visualization at the TU Delft in collaboration with the Anatomy and Embryology department at the LUMC in Leiden. My research project was called The Virtual Surgical Pelvis and aimed to create a detailed 3D model of the pelvic area from heterogeneous anatomical data that can be used in education and pre-operative surgical planning. I am currently employed as a researcher at the University of Bergen, Norway. I’m a contributor at medvis.org, the blog on all things medical visualization and also have my own blog.
