Dr Franck P. Vidal received the PhD degree in Computer Science from the School of Computer Science at Bangor University in January 2008. His PhD dissertation was entitled Simulation of image guided needle puncture: contribution to real-time ultrasound and fluoroscopic rendering, and volume haptic rendering.

From 2006 to 2008, he worked as a research assistant in the School of Computer Science at Bangor University where he collaborated on the implementation and validation of ImaGINe-S (Imaging Guided Interventional Needle Simulation), a VR Simulator for Visceral Needle Puncture funded under the Health Technology Devices (HTD) Programme. ImaGINe-S was awarded 2^nd place in the Eurographics 2009 Medical Prize “for its innovative use of computer graphics in a complex system that is already far advanced towards clinical use” (see here for a YouTube video to learn more about the simulator).

In late 2008, he joined the APIS team (Analysis of irregular Processes, Images and Signal, applications to biology and medicine) at INRIA Saclay—Île-de-France (the French national research institute in computer science and automation) and the Laboratory for Integration of Systems and Technology (CEA-LIST) at the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) where he was investigating the use of artificial evolution in tomography for nuclear medicine.

In January 2010, Dr Vidal joined the SuperComputing Online Re-planning Environment (SCORE) project at the Department of Radiation Oncology of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) where he developped Compton scattering computations on GPU.

In mid-February 2011, he joined the AVIZ (analysis and visualization) team at INRIA Saclay—Île-de-France. He was investigating multimodal visualisation of MRI data.

Dr Vidal was awarded a lectureship position at the School of Computer Science at Bangor University in October 2011. His research area is focussing on X-ray imaging and simulation, non-destructive testing by ionising radiation, inverse problems, optimisation and artificial evolution, high performance computing, image analysis and machine learning, image-based simulation. His research is mostly applied to material science, medical imaging and medical physics, and computer science.
