I did my PhD research in localization of surgical tools in 3D ultrasound data under co-supervision of Dr. Jan Kybic from CMP, and Dr. Herve Liebgott and Prof. Christian Cachard from CREATIS-LRMN funded by WARTHE project.  I defended my dissertation thesis in April 2011 and obtained PhD degree from CTU in Prague and INSA Lyon.

PhD topic:

Localization of surgical tools in 3D ultrasound data
[Web page], [Thesis in PDF], [Thesis statement], (See also applications below)

Other interrests:

Medical Applications, Ultrasound Imaging, Computer Graphics and Geometry, Implicit Surface Reconstruction, Image Processing for Industrial Applications
