Research activities

My research involves developing and testing visualization, display and interaction methods in the context of image-guided surgery. I’m particularly interested in how we can improve the spatial and depth understanding of volume rendered medical data and studying the impact of augmented reality visualization for particular surgical tasks.

Topics: 

  • Medical image visualization
  • 3D perception
  • Surgical tools&
  • Image-guided surgery
  • Human-computer interaction
