Professor in anatomy and neurosurgeon at the University Hospital of Grenoble (assistant prof until sept 2011): Olivier is focusing his research on the use of virtual models to express morphology and spatial relationships between organs. In the IMAGINE project, he will study the use of a priori anatomical knowledge in 3D modelling based on sketches; set up new ways of interacting with anatomical knowledge; and explore applications to the education domain. Olivier Palombi is in charge, at the national level, of the “Digital Campus of Anatomy”.Go to: Personal Webpage: http://evasion.inrialpes.fr/~Olivier.Palombi/
