Curriculum vitae:

Bart M. ter Haar Romeny is full professor of Biomedical Image Analysis (BMIA) at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Eindhoven University of Technology.
From 1989-2001 he was associate professor at the Image Sciences Institute of Utrecht University. He received a M.Sc. in Applied Physics from Delft University of Technology in 1978. From 1978-1979 he was Research and Development officer in the Royal Dutch Navy (honorably discharged with the rank of lieutenant). He acquired his Ph.D. from Utrecht University in 1983. He then became the principal physicist of the Utrecht University Hospital Radiology Department and (1986-1989) clinical project leader of the Dutch PACS project.

Research interests:

His interests are medical image analysis, its foundations and clinical applications. In order to understand image structure and analysis, a close look is taken to the human visual system. His interests are in particular the mathematical modeling of front-end vision, linear and non-linear scale-space theory, medical computer vision applications, computer-aided diagnosis, molecular imaging, differential geometry and visual perception. He authored and co-authored many papers, book chapters on these issues, authored an interactive tutorial book on perceptually inspired multi-scale image analysis, edited a book on non-linear diffusion theory in Computer Vision and is involved in (resp. initiated) a number of international collaborations on these subjects. He is enthusiast user of Mathematica.
