Mitchell de Boer is a biomedical engineer at Erasmus MC, working on the further clinical implementation of epicardial mapping during open-heart surgery by development of software and visualization methods for bio-electric data.
Mitchell received his master’s in biomedical engineering from the TU Delft with a focus on medical physics and data visualization. During his master’s he worked on developing 3D visualization tools for high dimensional transcriptomics data and interactive blood flow analysis in 4D flow MRI at the LUMC.
His work at the Erasmus MC entails the development of custom software packages for data analysis and visualization, both for research and later clinical application, of High Dimensional and Resolution Epicarial Mapping (HDREM). This is a technique of obtaining evenly spaced bio-electric data from cardiac activation during open-heart surgery. By developing tools for real-time automatic data analysis this software can give surgeons extra information on the electrical activation pattern of cardiac tissue.
