PhD in Medical Robotics with 4 years of experience in object-oriented software development using C++ for Computer Vision, Augmented Reality and Robotics applications (OpenCV, PCL, VTK and Qt) and in GPU programming using CUDA.
During my PhD, I led the development of a radiation awareness system for improving the monitoring of ionizing radiation during X-ray guided medical procedures. My work has led to two patent applications, several publications in scientific journals/conferences and to the development of a prototype system installed and demonstrated in an operating room.
I recently joined Ganymed Robotics, where we are working on the development of the new generation of Robotic Assistance devices for Orthopedic surgery. For more information, visit our website.
