-
Finite Element Modeling and Updating of Abdominal Vessels with Phantom Validation for Breast ReconstructionMaster’s thesis
Used infrared thermography to estimate abdominal perforator geometry with a finite element model and evaluated the thermal response using a physical phantom.
-
Automated Perforator Detection with Thermography for Breast ReconstructionMaster’s thesis
Compared automated methods for detecting perforators in dynamic infrared thermography using CT angiography as the reference.
-
Vascular Tree Modeling from Thermography for Breast ReconstructionMaster’s thesis
Developed a method to reconstruct three-dimensional perforator vessels from surface temperature patterns generated by finite element simulations.
-
Simulating Blood Flow in Siemens NXMaster’s thesis
Compared blood flow and heat transfer models in Siemens NX to study how underlying perforators affect skin temperature in DIEP flap breast reconstruction.
-
Thermography as a Tool in Bike FittingBachelor’s thesis
Investigated whether infrared thermography can reveal temperature asymmetries and patterns associated with cycling discomfort or injury.
-
Convective Cooling in DIEP Flap ProceduresMaster’s thesis
Used coupled airflow and heat transfer simulations to optimize an air distributor for uniform abdominal cooling, then built and tested a 3D-printed prototype.
-
Real-Time Perforator Detection with AI for DIEP Flap Breast ReconstructionMaster’s thesis
Compared convolutional neural networks for real-time perforator detection in dynamic infrared thermography videos.
