Broad Research Area: Scientific/Medical Informatics
Research Interests:
My research area is in the interface between computer science and medical applications with a special focus on computer-aided treatment planning of radiation oncology and radiology. Typically, my research involves the following aspects:
* Mathematical abstraction and modeling of medical problems to make these problems accessible to computer scientists and their expertise.
* Developing algorithmic solutions to the formulated mathematical problems. My research approach is fundamentally mathematical and uses techniques such as computational geometry, network flow, combinatorial optimization, and numerical optimization. I also rely on rigorous analysis of algorithms and proofs to quantify the quality and predict the performance of the solutions.
* Implementing, testing, and verifying the solutions in a clinical setting.
* Patenting, commercializing and publishing the results.
