Kleopatra Pirpinia’s algorithms increase precision in tumor imaging

Thesis defense

04-11-2020

“With my software, I hope to improve people’s lives. In my PhD research at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, I researched ways to integrate various breast tumor scans into one image. This can offer the physician more information about the tumor at the time of treatment. We can create integrated images of CT scans and MRI scans, or scans of patients on their back and their stomach. The software I have developed searchers through countless matches, and offers the best ones to the physician who can select the desired match from these options.”

Collage Pirpinia Kleopatra Blauw

 

“I’m a mathematician, and I greatly enjoyed collaborating with people who work in different fields, at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam UMC, and CWI. For the Dutch company Nedap I am now working on software that can assist HR managers with their administrative work. As long as I can continue to use the applications I come up with in my head to figure out technical issues, I’m happy.”

Kleopatra Pirpinia will defend her thesis on Wednesday, November 4, 13.00 at the University of Amsterdam. Her thesis is called Exploring the potential and feasibility of multi-objective deformable image registration for breast cancer treatment. The research has been made possible through the financial support of the Dutch Cancer Society .
