Research

IMS: Intelligent Mechanical Systems

Octopus project

  • Research on the design of complex systems, which, at runtime, should configure themselves in response to varying external circumstances. As a case study, I focus on the design of "smart printers". The project is carried out in close collaboration with the Dutch printer company OCE (www.oce.nl).
  • Development of methods to find optimal paths (e.g. shortest paths, fastest paths) in multidimensional space.

MISIT: Minimally Invasive Surgery and Interventional Techniques

PhD thesis: TrEndo Tracking System. Motion Analysis in Minimally Invasive Surgery

  • Development and validation of the TrEndo - an affordable system that tracks and records movements of real MIS instrument in training models (i.e. box and virtual reality simulators).
  • Analysis of instrument motion in relation to the experience of a surgeon.
  • Development of a method to objectively determine whether a resident can be called an "experienced", "intermediate", or "novice" according to his/her psychomotor MIS skills in a box trainer.
