Frederick Van Gestel is a Medical Doctor and Neurosurgical trainee at the University Hospital of Brussels (UZ Brussel), with a special interest in neuroscience and technological innovation. These interests culminated in his current Ph.D. research project at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, where he investigates the clinical use of augmented reality in Neurosurgery. Developing a new take on neuronavigation, which provides the surgeon with a 3D insight into the patient's anatomy - see-through vision as it were, he aims to prepare this platform for widespread adoption in everyday surgical practice.
