The Visible Ear Simulator: https://visibleearsimulator.com/

The Visible Ear Simulator (VES) has been my main project since 2007 at the Alexandra Institute. VES is a research based freeware software system that allows students and experts to perform repeated training exercises on difficult drilling procedures thereby quickly gaining surgical skill and greater anatomical understanding in a safe learning environment. It has been a multidisciplinary research project between the Alexandra Institute and the Danish National Hospital.

I have been the principal software developer and co-applicant in the following projects

Siemens 3D Digital Twin, Configuration viewer and Tool used to inspect wind farm live and simulation data. (Resultat kontrakt).
Siemens Meta Model, Custom viewer for wind turbine stress simulations.
Neutron/Synchrotron scanning RK, Custom rendering Vulkan based engine, for big volumetric scanning data. Research project with Teknologisk Institut, Bioneer and others (Resultat kontrakt).
Geo Teaching platform for Geology, Custom dynamic Voxel rendering engine using WebGL for underground models. Research project funded by Novo Nordisk Fonden.
Luxor, Rendering of point clouds from under water laser scanning. EU project with I-Gis and Fraunhofer.
WTEX, Javascript and WebGL/WebGPU framework for writing 3D web based applications. (RK).
Otosim, Simulation and visualisation system for modelling otosclerosis. Research project funded by Rigshospitalet.
Archaeology Rock Carving point cloud render, RTX based point cloud rendering system that enables real time ray tracing of huge photogrammetry based archaeological data.
