Description
The PhD project will address the challenges of dynamic assessment of bone and joint motion using freehand ultrasound, offering a radiation-free and flexible alternative to MRI and CT scans. The research will focus on developing novel registration strategies for ultrasound-derived musculoskeletal point clouds, specifically targeting the 3D reconstruction and tracking of skeletal structures such as the femur and pelvis.
Key Responsibilities:
- Conduct high-quality research and experiments.
- Develop robust 3D reconstruction and tracking methods.
- Collaborate with clinical partners for experimental validation.
- Publish findings in peer-reviewed journals and present at international conferences.
- Contribute to teaching activities within the Faculty of Engineering.
How to Apply
Candidates must submit the following materials:
- Motivated application statement detailing research interests.
- Curriculum Vitae (CV) including two referee contacts.
- Master’s and Bachelor’s degree certificates/transcripts.
- Completed TEK PhD application form (available on the Faculty website).
- Completed TEK PhD form for grade point average calculation (available on the Faculty website).
- Documentation describing grading schemes and any other relevant qualifications.
All documents must be in English and in PDF format.
