I hold the position of Royal Academy of Engineering/EPSRC Research Fellow and Proleptic Lecturer at the Department of Computer Science, University College London and I am also an academic member of the Centre for Medical Image Computing.
My research interests are predominantely focused on the development of computer vision and image analysis techniques for images obtained during minimally invasive surgery and robotic assisted surgery. These build onto my early work for soft-tissue 3D reconstruction and motion tracking carried out at the Royal Society/Wolfson MIC Laboratory and the Hamlyn Centre at Imperial College London.
Currently, I am working on algorithms for recovering non-rigid structure and motion information from the surgical site using computer vision and endoscopic images. The longterm clinical applications of this work are for advanced image guidance and control in robotic assisted surgery, however, I am increasingly interested in using vision to enable in vivo biophotonic imaging modalities and to privide information for more objective surgical skill training and analysis.
