    PhD Studentship: AI Powered Personalized Virtual Heart Modelling - Southampton, United Kingdom - University of Southampton

    Default job background
    Full time, Fixed-Term/Contract
    Description

    PhD Supervisor: Dr Lei Li

    Supervisory Team: Dr Lei Li, Prof. Age Chapman

    Project description:

    In this unique PhD project, we aim to develop advanced AI models for creating cardiac digital twins, i.e., virtual heart models. We will employ the dataset (imaging, ECG, electronic medical records, etc) collected from the patients, to accurately modelling the anatomy and simulate the function of patients' diseased hearts. These models, coupled with machine learning techniques, contribute to the identification of crucial mechanistic relationships and features that offer insights into the trajectory of a patient's heart condition. The research will delve into the intersection of AI and cardiac sciences, exploring novel approaches to revolutionize our understanding of the human heart. With the potential to impact medical treatments and technology advancements, this project promises an exciting and important avenue for personalized medicine.

    The project will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team, including academics from the University of Southampton and experts from University of Oxford, Imperial College London, Fudan University, etc.

    Techniques to be used.

    Image analysis

    • Aim: create 3D anatomical model from medical imaging.
    • Tech: image segmentation, mesh reconstruction, etc.

    Electrophysiological modelling

    • Aim: simulate the electrical activity in the heart.
    • Tech: monodomain/ bidomain model, Aliev-Panfilov model, Eikonal model, etc.

    Machine learning

    • Aim: establish deep learning models for cardiac modelling and simulation.
    • Tech: multi-modal fusion, physics-informed model, etc.

    Candidate requirements.
