Profession

About me

My work focuses on combining principles of medicine, cognitive science and human factors into surgical settings. Working closely with general and visceral surgeons, and other medical professionals around Europe, allows me to inform and improve the current surgical education of minimally invasive surgery through empirical evidence-based research.  By further combining computer science into my line of work, we are able to design, implement and human factor test a range of new innovative computerized systems, robotics and other intelligent agents for surgical purposes. 

 

 

 

 

My doctorate aims to further combine principles of medicine and applied cognitive science (medical cognition) into surgical settings. My doctorate will thus aim to provide a mechanistic understanding of how cognition and it's underlying processes influence the ability for the novice surgeon to acquire and master the technical and cognitive skills required for minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy).
