Today I finally received my diploma certificate.

I started an alumni network for the Department of Computer Science of my university.
Visit the website: http://www.fhw-informatik.de.
The website starts with a bulletin board for the alumni to stay in contact with each other and with the university after finishing their studies.

Our abstract “Calibration and Navigation of a Transrectal Ultrasound Probe for Prostate Cancer Therapy”, submitted to the commitee of the 3rd European Medical and Biological Engineering Conference EMBEC ’05 in Prague (Czech Republic), has been reviewed and accepted!
We are invited to give a lecture at the conference in November.
The paper is about the diploma theses of Karsten Berthold and me. Currently we are working on the full paper.

It’s done! On Friday I handed in my diploma thesis after 6 months work. In a few weeks I will get the result and may then call me Diplom-Informatiker (FH).
The title of the thesis is “Development of a 3-D Navigation System for Ultrasound-Guided Brachytherapy for Prostate Carcinoma” (PDF, 14MB). It is the start of a research project for improving the contemporary procedure of prostate cancer brachytherapy treatment.
