Dr. Oliver Zettinig

Hi, welcome to my personal homepage.

I am a senior researcher and Head of the Ultrasound group at ImFusion GmbH in Munich, Germany, where I strive to further push the boundaries in ultrasound-based medical procedures, also employing machine learning technologies where it makes sense. I am mostly active in the MICCAI community, received the MICCAI Young Scientist Award 2013, and continue to regularly serve as peer reviewer for relevant international journals and conferences.

Current Research Interests

• 3D ultrasound imaging
• Medical robotics and visual servoing
• Interventional navigation
• Machine learning

Previously

Before joining ImFusion, I obtained my PhD (Dr.rer.nat.) from Technical University Munich (Prof. Navab) after extended research visits at Johns Hopkins and Siemens’ research center in Princeton. I have been working as software developer in computer vision-related fields since my high school graduation, am a trained paramedic, have been active in a local IEEE EMBS student chapter, and obtained my glider pilot license when I was 16.

I was born in Austria and currently live in Athens, Greece. I spell my name Όλιβερ Τσετίνιγκ in Greek, because the German Z is pronounced /ts/.
