Rapid Prototyping of Surgical Simulators using Open Source Simulation Software
|
Workshop Leader
Craig Cornelius, Ph.D. Craig Cornelius received his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Stanford University. He then taught in both the computer science and chemistry departments at Luther College, his alma mater, before returning to Stanford to complete the M.S. in Computer Science. For 3 years he worked as Associate Director of the HELIX group of Stanford's Knowledge Systems Laboratory in the PROTEAN project, employing 3-D geometry and constraint reasoning to determine 3-D protein structures. In 1988 he joined CEMAX Inc., a pioneer in 3-D imaging and reconstruction from computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Surviving several rounds of mergers and acquisitions, most recently with Eastman Kodak's Health Imaging division, he was a member and team leader in applied research and engineering groups. His contributions ranged over 2-D and 3-D image processing and display, radiology Picture and Communications Systems (PACS), image quality and image consistency, and compression for telemedicine, as well as educating on system-wide image quality and solving real-world imaging problems. He also served as Eastman Kodak's representative on several working groups of the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) medical imaging standard. Dr. Cornelius joined SUMMIT in 2005 as Senior Simulation Engineer on the SPRING surgical simulation project. His research and development interests include numerical simulation, computing for medical education, 3-D visualization and medical imaging, image understanding, and games for learning.
