Biography

My Curriculum Vitae.

Research interests

My Research Plan.

My dissertation work is in the area of real-time in-situ holographic projection of tomographic data (fetal ultrasound demonstration image and video). More generally, though, I am interested in artificial intelligence and computer vision, especially as applied to medical/bio-robotics. I helped develop my lab's "Shells and Spheres" variable-scale statistical framework for n-dimensional image analysis, and I am working on novel extensions of the project which promise to produce more effective and efficient algorithms.

Other specific interests of mine include (but are not limited to) adding capabilities to medical robot controllers, improving existing computer-integrated surgical systems, and enabling new levels of computer disease diagnosis.

Current Labs & Groups

Human-Robot Interaction Group - We are interested in many aspects of human-robot interaction related to how humans and robots can work safely and effectively together.

Visualization and Image Analysis - We are developing new methods of displaying, analyzing, and haptically rendering images, primarily for medical applications.

Current Projects

FingersightTM - We are developing videotactile fingertip sensors which will enable people to interact with the visible world via their fingertips.

Sonic FlashlightTM - We are developing a method of medical visualization that merges real time ultrasound images with direct human vision.
