Biography
Mohamed Benmahdjoub graduated in Computer Science at USTHB (Université des sciences et de la Technologie Houari Boumediene - Algiers, Algeria) in 2017. He worked on semantic web (Conception and Implementation of a multilingual ontology on language disorders) in his bachelor (2015), and addressed the feasibility of intraoperative augmented reality (AR) for Arthroplasty at IMASCAP (Brest, France) in his master’s thesis (2017).
He joined Erasmus MC and the Oral and Maxillofacial department in October 2018 as a PhD candidate under the supervision of Dr. ir. Theo van Walsum, Prof. Dr. E.B. (Eppo) Wolvius, and Prof. dr. Wiro Niessen Wiro J. Niessen. In his PhD thesis, he develops AR systems for surgical navigation and investigated the potential of AR for surgical navigation. In particular, he built and assessed new methods for image-to-patient alignment, 3D visualization, and depth perception in the context of intraoperative surgical guidance.
His interests are Augented/Mixed/Virtual reality, image guidance and navigation, visualization and computer vision
