Job Summary
The Computing Department at Imperial College is seeking a highly motivated Research Associate or Research Assistant to participate in the development of novel in-vivo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and 3D microscopy techniques in the heart, as well as advanced, deep learning approaches for MR post-processing and analysis.
As part of an ongoing research programme at Imperial College London NHLI and Computing, Imperial researchers embedded in the Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Unit at the Royal Brompton Hospital (RBH), are developing diffusion tensor cardiovascular magnetic resonance (DT-CMR) methods that provide information on the 3-dimensional microstructure of the muscle in the beating heart of patients and healthy volunteers non-invasively. With this new technology, which has already provided novel insights into the microstructural dynamics of cardiac contraction, we aim to improve our understanding of how the healthy heart functions as well as how microstructural dysfunction contributes to disease. This exciting new modality will yield a disruptive reassessment of cardiac function and will have important diagnostic and prognostic value in cardiac disease.
The successful candidate will join a multi-disciplinary team of physicists, computer scientists, cardiologists and technologists embedded within Imperial College and RBH and will be involved in the development of microscopy techniques, in vivo and ex vivo MRI data acquisition, image reconstruction and post-processing techniques, as well as artificial intelligence algorithms to optimise all of the above, under the supervision of Prof Daniel Rueckert (Department of Computing) and Dr Sonia Nielles-Vallespin (NHLI).
