Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
A studentship in the UCL VEIV EngD programme funded by EPSRC and the Royal Free Charity.
For general information on the programme, see engdveiv.cs.ucl.ac.uk/
The aim of this project is to develop a innovative applications of computer graphics and artificial intelligence to help clinicians and patients to better understand the options available to them, and, which is the best action to take, after a disease has been diagnosed.
For clinicians, and patients, the amount of information about treatment options can be large, and sometimes overwhelming. Moreover, the background, the knowledge and preferences of patient are very different. Using computer graphics can help in providing ways to visualise the information relevant to the decisions that a particular patient needs to make. The development of this technology, not only could revolutionise the way clinicians interact with patients, but also help them to find the optimum intervention for each specific situation.
This is an exciting project for a student who wants to learn more about computer graphics, and artificial intelligence, and who has the imagination to develop innovative ways to tackle some of issues in presenting information to clinicians and patients. We are keen to recruit a student who is prepared to explore radical ways to visualise information in a way that can make the difficult decisions easier to handle, so that patients get the right information for their needs.
The student will undertake an MRes in their first year which includes taught courses in computer graphics, artificial intelligence, etc, and then they will undertake PhD studies for a further three years. The student will be based in UCL Department of Computer Science, a leading research centre for computer graphics and artificial intelligence, and the student will have regular contact with clinicians in the Department of Oncology in the Royal Free Hospital, a leading centre for the development and evaluation of healthcare decision support technology.
The supervisors for the project are Anthony Hunter (Professor of Artificial Intelligence in the UCL Department of Computer Science) and Astrid Mayer (Consultant Oncologist in the Royal Free Hospital and Senior Lecturer at the UCL Cancer Institute).
