I am working at the Centre of Mathematics for Applications
(CMA), in quest of a PhD degree from the Department of informatics at the University of Oslo. I wrote my master's thesis at the Interventional centre at Rikshospitalet
University Hospital, with the title Real time volume
visualization for freehand 3D ultrasound.
My current research area is Riemann normal coordinates on triangle meshes, and decal texturing.
During my time as PhD student, I have also been working with
- Freehand 3D ultrasound
- Parallel programming on GPUs
- Wavelet decompositions on triangulations
You can find out more about me from the links below.
3DUS
I have implemented an application framework in C++ for
calibration, acquisition, reconstruction and visualization of
voxel based freehand 3D ultrasound. The volume rendering is
handled by Coin3D/SimVoleon, and the user interface is written
using Qt. I am currently investingating GPU-based approaches for
the data reconstruction phase.
3DUS calibration
I have developed a new method for calibrating a 6-DOF position
sensor to an ultrasound probe. I am currently working on
assessing the accuracy and precision of the method.
Faber
When the amount of data in a triangulation is too large to be handled
efficiently, one often seek a simplification of the detailed data
into a less detailed triangulation. However, important details might
be lost when simplifying the fine triangulation into a coarse
triangulation. I have implemented a framework for decomposition and
reconstruction of surface triangulations using a standard Faber
decomposition approach, and I am currently
investigating how to preserve more properties of the fine
triangulation in the coarse triangulation.

This box is here for some links that I use from time to time:
I spend quite a lot of my time in front of a computer, mostly
programming C++ or similar languages. Other than that, I fly small
airplanes, ride bikes, play badminton, play guitar or accordion,
knit, or read books. I also enjoy learning
new languages, and know some basic Russian, Korean and Japanese by
now. I think the best movie of all times is Top Gun, and my
favourite color is probably yellow.
