Job Summary
We are looking for an enthusiastic Research Associate in Machine Learning for Population Imaging, funded by a British Heart Foundation (BHF) New Horizons project. The project is at the intersection of machine learning, population imaging and 3D shape analysis. It aims to develop novel computational and machine learning methods that can reconstruct dynamic 3D-temporal shapes of the four cardiac chambers from multi-view imaging data. The developed methods will be applied to population-level imaging datasets, such as the UK Biobank, to create a large-scale cardiac shape database. Based on the curated database, novel shape analysis and geometric deep learning methods will be developed to understand the variations of cardiac shape and motion on large populations.
The Research Associate will undertake research in medical image analysis, machine learning, and 3D shape analysis, in close collaboration with existing group members and clinical partners. The research outcomes are expected to be published in high-quality refereed international journals and conferences. The successful candidate will be expected to have an outstanding background in medical image analysis, computer vision, machine learning and programming. The researcher will be a member of the Data Science Institute (DSI) and a member of the Biomedical Image Analysis Group (BioMedIA) based at the South Kensington Campus, Imperial College London, and will be supervised by Dr Wenjia Bai.
Duties and responsibilities
