Biography

Bram Platel was born on the 6th of Februari 1978 in 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands. He graduated from the VWO at the Jacob Roelandslyceum in Boxtel in 1996. In the same year he started studying Mechanical Engineering at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. After completing the first year foundation course he switched to the brand new Biomedical Engineering study from which he graduated (and received the M.Sc. degree cum laude) in 2002. His graduation project involved research in multiscale hierarchical segmentation of images, which was carried out within the Biomedical Image Analysis group at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. This work laid the foundation of his PhD-studies which were carried out within the Deep Structure, Singularities and Computer Vision project funded by the European Union. After his PhD Bram was offered a job at the academic hospital of Maastricht as project leader of the new Image Guided Surgery group. This new group operates as a part of the Biomedical Engineering department. The group's research focuses on image analysis for neurosurgical procedures like tumor resection, deep brain stimulation and spinal surgery.
