What you would be doing

You will undertake research in cardiac image analysis, machine learning and predictive modelling to derive imaging phenotypes and anatomical models from cardiac images, which form important aspects of the digital twin model that can predict future outcomes of the patients. Research outcomes will be expected to be published in high-quality refereed international conferences and/or journals. The successful candidate will be expected to have an outstanding background in medical image analysis, machine learning and programming.

What we are looking for
