Resident and PhD Student Cardiothoracic Surgery
Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam
Since 2019, I am working as a resident cardiothoracic surgery at the Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I have always been interested in technology, and was looking for ways to combine it with my clinical work. Our department starting experimenting with virtual reality to aid surgeons to plan surgery, and the moment I got in touch with this technology, I saw the potential and wanted to explore more opportunities in our medical field. Because of this, at the end of 2020, I started as a PhD student on 3D-VR preoperative planning of adult and congenital cardiothoracic surgery. During this PhD programme, I will investigate the feasibility and additional value of VR in congenital and adult heart and lung surgery, including pulmonary segmentectomy planning.
