Welcome to my homepage!

My research consists mainly of high precision measurements in digital x-ray images. I defended my thesis Model-based Measurements in Digital Radiographs on June 9th, 2000. The abstract of my thesis may be found here.

Today's quote:

    Unless the results are known in advance, funding agencies will
    reject the proposal.

If you are looking for UmRSA, the commercial RSA system, you should look here.

Note: Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA), previously known as Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis is not related to the encryption method RSA.
