Research I am working towards my Ph.D. on the subject of Non-Linear Registration for Medical Applications under supervision of Prof. Nassir Navab. My fields of interest include: non-linear registration regularization methods similarity measures optimization and numerical methods statistical shape models Related research groups and projects: Registration and Visualization Group Deformable Registration Project Publications 2009 M.
