About me
I am a post-doctoral Research Associate at the Centre for Medical Image Computing,
working on software development for surgical guidance in minimally invasive surgery.
I previously obtained a PhD from the Department of Computing at Imperial College London,
focussing around appearance modelling for minimally invasive surgery.
Projects
SmartLiver: Image guidance for minimally invasive liver resection
This project develops a guidance system for actual use in surgery. I am developing software for image
processing, live video streaming, visualisation, high-performance computing, and general architecture.
ARAKNES: Array of robots augmenting the kinematics of endoluminal surgery
http://www.araknes.org/
I am working on software integration and realtime video processing.
PASSPORT: Patient specific simulation and preoperative realistic training for liver surgery
http://www.passport-liver.eu/
This project focussed on liver modelling for tumour resection. It investigated on growth modelling,
resection simulation, virtual training and biomedical simulation. I was working on texture map
generation/synthesis for virtual organ models.
RT-ISIS: Realtime in situ in vivo surgical sensing and imaging
http://ubimon.doc.ic.ac.uk/rtisis/
I was working on video mosaicking to expand the narrow field of view of endoscopic cameras.
