It was while I was in Japan
that I found the basic inspiration for the subject of my Ph.D.
dissertation.
The 3D modeling technology that I
developed there resulted in a paper that I presented to the first Asian
Conference on Computer Vision in Osaka shortly after I ended my stay in
Japan. By chance Dr. Nicholas Ayache of the French
elite research institute INRIA happened to see my presentation, and we
had a short chat afterwards which ended with us agreeing that I should
come to INRIA as part of my Ph.D. work and work with his team.
We shared the same vision for how 3D
modeling technology could be used in medical imaging and being starved
for scientific input in Denmark I eagerly joined the Epidaurians.
During my stay with the Epidaure group at
INRIA I had the chance to learn tremendously from Nicholas and his
collegues (in particular Herve Delingette, Jean-Philippe Thirion, and
Stephane Cotin). In addition a long list of internationally renowned
researchers came through Epidaure during those nine months and getting
to know them was crucial to developing a network in the international
scientific community.
After I returned to Denmark I spent most of my
time in the 3D-Lab at the School of
Dentistry of the University of Copenhagen. This laboratory was established as a
collaboration between the School of Dentistry, the University Hospital, and the
Technical University of Denmark. Here I had the opportunity to work closely with
doctors, dentists and other medical professionals.
| I think it is fair to say that when I
ended my dissertation work in 1996 I was recognized as a world expert on
the use of physical models in medical image processing and
simulation.
