Mathematics

Mathematics... there is much more to it than a requirement to compute 6 × 7. Actually everything is mathematics. My math teacher often philosophised about the question whether “everything exists by mathematical rule” or “the human mind tries to see patterns in everything”. Tom Lehrer already sang Yes, try as you may, you can't get away from mathematics! And I dare you to think of something that does not involve mathematics.

Health Care

Of course it is of no surprise that health care is flooded by mathematical influence. Everyday things such as ultrasound images, medication prescriptions, medical decision-making, hospital bed planning, etc. And reconstruction of a CT image feels like solving a Sudoku.

My research field focuses on optimization and decision-making. See those pages for more information.
