Ivo Rössling, external Phd candidate of our group and staff member of Dornheim Medical Images successfully defended his Phd thesis “Vermessung von medizinischen Segmentierungen für die chirurgische Interventionsplanung und Dokumentation”. Ivo was actively involved in our long term cooperation with the University hospital Leipzig, being core developer of the TumorTherapyManager that is regularly used for Tumorboard meetings.
We are very happy that Pere-Pau Vazquez (associate professor from Barcelona) visits us. Pere-Pau is an expert in viewpoint selection, volume rendering and in particular perceptual enhancements of existing techniques. We are looking forward to his talk on “Instant Visualization of Molecular Simulation”.
Noeska Smit from Delft University of Technology is with us for a 10 day stay. Noeska is a specialist in medical visualization in general and in anatomy education in particular. She gave a talk on “The Virtual Surgical Pelvis”.
Welcome to Shiva Shiva Alemzadeh, our new Phd student from Iran. Shiva will work on epidemiological data and strengthen our visual analytics branch.
Welcome to Kai Nie, our new staff member from China. Kai will work on the visual analysis of perfusion data taking into account contrast agent dynamics, morphology and texture of suspicious tumors.
Paul Klemm has submitted his Phd thesis “Interactive Visual Analysis of Population Study Data”, an essential result from our DFG project together with Klaus Toennies and Henry Völzke from the University of Greifswald. This work was part of the DFG priority programme “Scaleable Visual Analytics”.
Our new staff member Monique Meuschke got a prestigeous award last Saturday. Having the best possible grades in all subjects, Monique was selected as the best graduate of all our six master programmes.
We welcome Nico Merten as new staff member working in the Research Campus SIMULATE. Before joining the Vis group Nico studied Computational Visualistics at Koblenz-Landau University.
We are glad that Dr. Gabriel Mistelbauer, TU Wien accepted the invitation to give a talk in the Medical Technology colloquium. He will talk about “Advanced Vessel Visualization”
Alexandra Baer defended here Phd thesis on “Perception-Guided Evaluation of 3D Medical Visualizations” successfully. Alexandra conducted a series of controlled perceptual studies related to emphasis techniques in medical visualization, depth perception with stereo and autostereoscopic devices and related to visualizations of vascular structures and internal flow. The thesis was reviewed by Timo Ropinski (Ulm University) and Douglas Cunningham (BTU Cottbus) and was graded with a Magna Cum Laude from all three reviewers.
