My research and teaching
interest is Computer-Assisted Surgery and Interventions. This
is a fascinating and complex field that covers medical imaging, image
computing, scientific visualization, surgical planning and navigation,
robotics, biosensors and, perhaps most importantly, integration of all these
into workable clinical systems and translating them to clinical use. I further
specialize in minimally invasive percutaneous (through the skin) interventions
performed under image guidance, with primary application in the detection and
treatment of cancer. For details, please visit my Laboratory for Percutaneous Surgery,
or as we call it affectionately: the Perk
Lab, online.
Those
who have a high tolerance for boredom can read my entire biography (in PDF format) here,
in its ostentatiously long incarnation.
Copies
of my publications are available online through the Perk Lab.
Open positions for students, postdocs and research engineers are
available online through the Perk Lab.
