AREA OF INTEREST: IMAGE ANALYSIS AND COMPUTER VISION IN BIOPHYSICS AND BIOMEDICINE

Activities:

Microrobotics

• Fabrication of microrobotic devices by 2-photon polymerization, their moving by laser traps.
• Control of Holographic Optical Tweezers via natural user interface (hands and fingers, voice, gaze).
• Particles tracking and their automated optical micromanipulation (path finding, sorting, measurement).

Image analysis and stereology

• Image analysis of microscopic samples (optical , confocal, AFM, TEM).
• 3D image analysis and stereology (quantitative analysis and measurement in 3D, unbiased stereological methods).
• Segmentation of images in 2D and 3D, machine learning methods.

Teaching:

• Computer vision lectures (Institute of Computer Science, P.J. Safarik University in Kosice).
• Supervisor of PhD M.Sc and Bc. students (Technical University and Safarik University in Kosice).

Other activities

• Development of the interactive exhibits for the "Steel Park " science center in Kosice.
