Keynote Lectures

Prof.dr.ir. I.M. Vellekoop | People pages: Vind een medewerker en alle  contactgegevens | Universiteit Twente


Ivo Vellekoop, University of Twente
His research focuses on developing microscopy techniques that can image cells deep within biological tissue. Unlike traditional microscopes, these techniques can focus light through non-transparent materials. His work combines physics, optics, information theory, quantum mechanics, mathematics, and engineering, and involves close collaboration with life scientists to optimize microscope performance.

Marijn Stollenga, ImFusion
Marijn graduated in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Groningen and pursued his PhD on Humanoid Perception and Control at the Swiss AI Lab IDSIA in the group of Prof. Jürgen Schmidhuber. He authored several papers in conferences like NeurIPS, IROS and MICCAI, applying deep learning in varying domains, ranging from automatic medical segmentation to robotic control. Marijn joined ImFusion in 2018 where he applies ML algorithms to medical challenges, with a focus on Spinal applications.
