My PhD research
After my
graduation in physics, I got a PhD scholarship from
IWT
(Institute for Promotion of Innovation by Science and Technology in Flanders), which
granted in January 2000.

Brief description of my Ph.D. research
My research topic for my Ph. D. is about restoration of images recorded with a confocal
microscope. These images are degraded by blur, noise, ..., thus hiding information for the
observer. The goal is to restore this hidden information as good as possible for quantitative
analysis.
To restore such images, different techniques can be applied from simple filters to
assuming complex models for the image and the PSF.
