SkinCut

Simulation and Visualization of Cutting Wounds

Master thesis project at Utrecht University.

Researched surgery simulations, digital injury visualization, and theoretical foundations of skin rendering.

Developed a novel cutting simulation and visualization algorithm that generates skin injuries interactively.

Modified screen-space subsurface-scattering shading to simulate skin discoloration around the cut.

Implemented prototype that supports mesh subdivision, geometry generation, and rendering capabilities.

Written in C++ with DirectX 11 and HLSL shaders, using WinAPI and Dear ImGui for the user interface.

Photron

Photon Transport in Multi-Layered Mediums

Experimentation project at Utrecht University.

Improved and extended a research prototype for simulating photon transport in multi-layered tissues.

Enhanced MCML implementation with support for arbitrary surface geometries and voxelization thereof.

Combines photon simulation with visualization of photon paths and energy deposition.

Intuitive tissue layer configuration, simulation controls, and statistical convergence monitoring.

Written in C++20 with OpenGL 4.5 rendering pipeline and acceleration structures.

MiNNi

Mini Neural Network Implementation

Based on the fundamental neural network concepts presented in "Neural Networks from Scratch".

Tiny neural network library that implements a simple feedforward neural network with backpropagation.

Supports regression and classification tasks.

Includes several core components: layers, activators, loss functions, optimizers, and accuracy metrics.

An example showcases how the library can be used to train and predict on the MNIST dataset.

Written in pure Python 3 and the NumPy library.
