The PhD studentship will broadly explore development of cutting-edge AI solutions for image registration, anatomy segmentation, and immersive technology.
Project Description
The PhD studentship will broadly explore development of cutting-edge AI solutions for image registration, anatomy segmentation, and immersive technology. The selected candidate will work with preoperative MRI/CT scans to create 3D models of organs and intra-operative surgical videos. The candidate will develop surgical planning and implement new technologies for its integration as VR/AR assistive platform. Please note that AR integration will be supported by the computer graphics team at Leeds so this is not a mandatory criteria. The research directions will be adapted based on the progress and consultation with clinical colleagues and supervisor, ensuring impactful outputs. The candidate will have opportunity to collaboratively work with computational scientists and surgeons exploring novel ways to transform research and practice in surgical care.
Entry Requirements
Ideal candidate will have some prior knowledge in computer vision/deep learning and some basic understanding of computer graphics but not mandatory. Please feel free to contact the main supervisor informally with your CV and a short list of interests for a discussion.
