Research interests

My main research interest is interactive medical image analysis and visualization using haptic feedback with the aim to facilitate semi-automatic segmentation and other image analysis tasks. I am also interested in hardware (GPU) accelerated algorithms for visualization and image analysis.

Computer skills

I am used to work with the operating systems Windows 9x/NT/XP and Linux. My main programming language is C++/C, but I am also familiar with Java and Fortran and scripting languages such as Python and Tcl. For development under Windows I mainly use Visual C++ 7 and 8, but I am also familiar with Borland. Under Linux I use gcc and gmake. I have experience of a number of toolkits and APIs, such as OpenGL, OpenGL shading language (GLSL), Visualization toolkit (VTK), Insight segmentation and registration toolkit (ITK), H3D API from SenseGraphics, Reachin API from Reachin, and Matlab.
