Hans Martin Kjer

Hans Martin Kjer is an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where he is affiliated with the UltraSound and Biomechanics group within the Visual Computing Center and the Center for Fast Ultrasound Imaging. His research bridges engineering and medical imaging, with a strong emphasis on developing and validating advanced ultrasound techniques for biomedical applications.

Research Interests: His work focuses on super-resolution ultrasound imaging, microvascular analysis, 3D reconstruction of biological structures, and image registration. He applies computational methods to improve the resolution and accuracy of ultrasound, particularly in renal and lymph node vasculature imaging. His research contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals in health and well-being through innovative diagnostic tools.

Publication Trends: Over the past several years, Kjer has consistently published in high-impact journals and conferences in biomedical engineering and imaging. His recent work emphasizes the validation of super-resolution ultrasound against micro-CT, realistic 3D blood flow simulation, and the application of AI in enhancing imaging resolution. These studies reflect a strong trend toward quantitative, reproducible, and clinically relevant imaging solutions.

Scientific Contributions: While no specific awards are listed, his leadership in major research projects and frequent collaborations with leading experts in ultrasound (e.g., Jørgen Arendt Jensen) underscore his significant role in the field.

Advising and Funding: Kjer serves as a supervisor and principal investigator in several funded research initiatives, including AI for Extreme Super-Resolution CT, 3DIM: 3D Imaging Center, and QIM: Center for Quantification of Imaging Data from Max IV. He mentors PhD students and collaborates across disciplines, contributing to both biomedical and materials science imaging projects.

Laboratories and Teams: He is an integral member of the Center for Fast Ultrasound Imaging and the Visual Computing Center at DTU. These teams focus on cutting-edge ultrasound technologies, image processing algorithms, and multimodal imaging integration, positioning Kjer at the forefront of computational biomedical imaging in Denmark.
