Gridbased Virtual By-pass Surgery
Speaker: Professor Peter Sloot, University of Amsterdam
When: 2005-10-06 15:00:00
Venue: N25 0.06 Nathan campus, Griffith University
Host: Prof Abdul Sattar
Abstract:We conduct computer simulation experiments in pre-operative planning
of vascular reconstruction with a physician in the experimental
loop. A Gridbased problem-solving environment was constructed, which
offers an integrative approach for running complex interactive
systems. Grid resources are used for access to medical image
repositories, segmentation services, simulation of blood flow, and
visualization in virtual environments of the simulated results
together with medical data obtained from MRI/CT scanners.

Biography:Prof. Dr. Peter M.A. Sloot, studied physics and chemistry, did his
PhD work at the Dutch Cancer institute (NKI) and is currently a full
Professor in Computational Sciences at the Informatics Institute of
the Faculty of Science of the Universiteit van Amsterdam, the
Netherlands.
In his research, he focuses on theory, methods and tools for
distributed mesoscopic simulation of complex systems. He is General
Chair of the ICCS series of conferences on Computational Sciences
and Editor in Chief of Elsevierùs science journal: FGCS:
International Journal on Grid Computing.
Professor Sloot received in 1996 an NNV distinguished professorship
in computational physics and has published over 90 journal papers,
110 proceeding papers, 5 chapters in books and over 50 technical
reports. He supervised 15 PhD theses. His current interest is in
Grid Computing and distributed simulation.
