Self-Funded PhD Students Only
About the Project
Epilepsy is an intrinsically multiscale disorder, whose complexity (incorporating cellular and subcellular events and macroscale network features) precludes understanding by experimental investigation alone.
This project will employ multiscale computational and asymptotic techniques, to investigate thoroughly the influence of the geometry and connectivity of the cortical surface of the brain on the progression of epileptic seizures. Model development and validation will be undertaken in close collaboration with experimental workers, employing relevant EEG and MRI data.
These investigations aim to improve directly future epilepsy treatment by highlighting appropriate strategies, improving treatment outcome prediction, and identifying the seizure focus for medically intractable epilepsy patients.
Entry requirement
A first class or upper second class UK BSc (Hons) degree (or equivalent) or Masters degree in mathematics, or a subject with high mathematical content.
Eligibility
Applications can be accepted from UK/EU and also International students. The minimum English language proficiency requirement for candidates who have not undertaken a higher degree at a UK HE institution is IELTS 6.5 (with no element to be below 6.0).
