WELCOME to my personal website. Pages here will tell you mainly about my research interests and my various activities in research (publications, research grants and postgraduate research). These pages also give some detail of my career (brief research history and things I have done) and hobbies. I am a Research Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Hull. My current research interest concerns Imaging Science with a special interest in novel computer-based systems for medical applications. I am director of the Hull Immersive Visualization Environment at the University of Hull. I am also the co-founder of Vertual Ltd. In the Department my research is part of the Simulation and Visualization Research group and details of some of my projects are found at their website. However, much of my research is multidisciplinary and involves colleagues in Engineering, Medical Physics and various Hospital departments. More information of some of these collaborative research projects may be found at the websites of the Medical Engineering Group based in the Engineering Department, Radiotherapy Physics Services of the Radiation Physics Department of the Hull and East Yorkshire NHS hospitals andwith the and at the Medical Physics Group. I currently collaborate with medical specialists in Orthopaedics, Academic Cardiology, Radiotherapy and Interventional Radiology (primarily through the CRaIVE - Collaborators in Radiological Interventional Virtual Environments). |
As mentioned above I am particularly interested in solving real world problems in medicine by developing new and integrating existing Imaging Science techniques to produce innovative computer-based systems. My interpretation of Imaging Science covers image scene acquisition, image scene manipulation and visualization and simulation of image scenes. Topics of particular interest to me in these three areas are as follows:
-
image scene acquisition: image calibration, position sensing, fluoroscopic imaging, medical imaging technologies, ...
-
image scene manipulation: image registration (rigid and non rigid), image matching (intrapatient and interpatient), image fusion, image analysis, segmentation, ...
-
visualization and simulation of image scenes: virtual environments, haptics rendering, synthetic image generation, ...
If you are interested in collaborative research projects or a PhD related to the above topics then please make contact with me.
Novel Computer-based Systems for Medicine
My main current areas of medicine, where I am researching novel computer-based solutions, are as follows:
-
orthopaedics: image guided systems for orthopaedic trauma surgery, surgical planning, robotic tools for bone cutting, ...
-
radiotherapy treatment of cancer: improved dose delivery for conformal radiotherapy treatments, cancer awareness, ...
-
cardiology: automated quantitative analysis of left ventricle from cardiac MRI, visualization of cardiac function, ...
-
interventional radiology: virtual environment simulators for needle pucture, haptic models, ...
-
bone diseases: simulation of bone remodelling and associated diseases (osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis), prediction of bone strength using a bone atlas and 2D radiographs, ...

I have attempted to portray matters of fact accurately on my personal website. Inadvertently, from time to time, inaccuracies may occur. Notification by anyone of such inaccuracies would be much appreciated. However, I accept no responsibilities for the consequences, what ever they may be, of such inaccuracies.
