2 EDUCATION July July 2010 PhD candidate at the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Biomedical Image-Analysis (BMIA) group Brief synopsis of Research The project was focused in processing and visualization of complex medical data known as high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI). Most of the developed algorithms were placed together in an in-house framework developed mainly with C++, QT and VTK. Main Areas: Image analysis Computer graphics Visualization Medical applications Technical Skills: C++, Python, QT, VTK, Mathematica, Pascal, Assembly (8085, 8086, 386), LISP, Prolog, SQL During my PhD I have also supervised student projects, taken several courses.
