Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
The Synopsys Simpleware Product Group (https://www.synopsys.com/simpleware.html) invites applications for an Early Stage Researcher position (Doctoral Candidate) as part of the "Rapid Biomechanics Simulation for Personalized Clinical Design (RAINBOW)" (https://rainbow.ku.dk/) grant, funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program.
Thanks to recent advances in medical imaging and computer tomography, medical surgery is undergoing a revolution. Surgeons have routinely access to 3D reconstructions of patient anatomy that help them perform diagnoses, plan their operations, and may even have access to real-time feedback during surgical operations.
The post holder will develop numerical methods to simulate the deformations of soft-tissues in the context of computer-aided surgery. In particular, he/she will contribute to bridging the gap between advanced 3D imaging techniques and physics-based computer simulations in order to improve current capabilities in the area of computer-aided diagnostic and surgical planning. A thorough knowledge of software development is essential.
The post holder will explore the processing of 3D image data to convert to Computer Aided Engineering Geometric Representations. The Early Stage Researcher will carry out one or more of the following tasks throughout the project:
1. Develop techniques for the conversion of triangulated data into NURBS patches for the subsequent use of iso-geometric approaches. In particular focusing on generating conforming multipart models starting from image data.
2. Statistical modelling- PCA.
The post holder will be employed on a fixed term (36-month contract) and be principally based at the Synopsys-Simpleware offices in Exeter UK but will also be enrolled as a full time graduate student at University of Luxembourg (https://wwwen.uni.lu/) undertaking research towards a PhD degree award. The candidate will be expected to spend periods of time in Luxembourg as well as with other partners in the RAINBOW consortium (https://rainbow.ku.dk/).
The Simpleware product group at Synopsys develops an industry-leading 3D image processing platform for the visualization, quantification and conversion of 3D scan data (MRI, CT, micro-CT...) into high quality design, simulation and 3D printing models. For more than 30 years, Synopsys has nurtured a culture of integrity and excellence that fosters creativity, care for each other, and concern for the communities around us. We value diversity, different perspectives, and new ideas. As an employee of Synopsys, you have access to a comprehensive set of benefits.
Funding Notes
ITN eligibility rules:
Only early stage researchers (ESR) in the first 4 years of their career can be appointed. The applicant must not have been awarded a PhD and their research experience must total ≤ 4 years at date of recruitment (counted from the diploma/degree that gives the right to start a doctoral degree).
Researcher must not have lived or carried out their main activity (work, studies etc) in the UK for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the recruitment. Short stays (e.g. holidays) are not taken into account. Researchers can be of any nationality.
