Joost van der Putten

Joost Van Der Putten (Graduate Student Member, IEEE) was born in Veldhoven, The Netherland, in 1992. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Since 2017, he has been with the Video Coding and Architectures (VCA) Research Group. He has published multiple publications on the subject. Together with colleagues at the Amsterdam University Medical Center, he developed a real-time Barrett’s Esophagus dysplasia detection and localization algorithm that was tested to great success in a live pilot study inside the endoscopy suite. Besides research on medical imaging, he has a broad interest in more general computer vision techniques and is continually looking for ways to combine this with medical domain knowledge to improve algorithms that can be implemented in clinical practice. His research interest includes the detection and diagnosis of dysplasia in Barrett’s Esophagus.
