Postdoc Researcher on Spectro-Dynamic MRI: The project focuses on enhancing disease diagnosis using Spectro-Dynamic MRI for high-speed biomechanical quantification. We are actively seeking a Postdoc Researcher with expertise in (applied) Mathematics, Physics, electrical, mechanical, or biomedical engineering.
Designation: Postdoc Researcher on Spectro-Dynamic MRI
Research Area: Biomechanical quantification using Spectro-Dynamic MRI
Location: Computation Imaging Group, University Medical Centre Utrecht
Eligibility/Qualification: We are looking for someone with a PhD in (applied) Mathematics, Physics, electrical, mechanical, or biomedical engineering with an affinity for (continuum) mechanics, biomechanical modeling, tensor calculus, numerical methods, and experimentation.
Job Description: Accurate quantification and characterization of biomechanical processes under dynamic conditions can lead to better diagnosis, prevention, and therapy of societal relevant diseases such as cardiovascular and musculoskeletal disorders. The project involves developing and applying biomechanical models for different use-cases of Spectro-Dynamic MRI, focusing on bringing the technology closer to in-vivo applications.
The Spectro-Dynamic MRI technique relies on the speed of data acquisition in the spectral domain (k-space), allowing for better encoding of motion. The postdoc researcher will merge concepts from MR-physics, biomechanics, and model-based reconstruction to enable mapping of currently inaccessible mechanical information such as velocity, strain, and stress at video frame-rates.
