RESEARCH INTERESTS

TEACHING RESPONSIBILITIES

After coordinating and teaching a large educational project on ultrasound imaging, Jordy’s teaching responsibilities shifted towards MRI education in both the technical medicine (TM) and biomedical engineering (BME) programs. Using the new (installed late 2015) in-house MR facility of the ECTM, previous MR education has been revised and redesigned, and is currently embedded in 4 curricula.

Future goals are to perform current MR education for TM and BME students, and to improve this into established and constructive MR educational lines throughout these medically oriented programs.
