There he worked from 1986-1992 on image processing and tomographic reconstruction. He was appointed associate professor (1992) and full professor (2003), respectively, at the Institute for Mathematics and Computing Science of the University of Groningen, where he currently holds a chair in Scientific Visualization and Computer Graphics. He also has a joint appointment with the Faculty of Medicine, University of Groningen. His research interests include mathematical morphology, biomedical visualization, neuroimaging and bioinformatics. He is on the editorial board of the Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, was associated editor of Pattern Recognition (2003-2008), and is Senior Member of the IEEE. He is reviewer for a large number of international journals, and member of the program committees of numerous international conferences.
