The Laboratory of Medical Imaging and Informatics in the School of Computing at University of Southern Mississippi, USA, is currently looking for two highly motivated Ph.D. students for research on cardiovascular image analysis and machine learning. Supported by an American Heart Association grant, an important goal of this research is to develop and validate new computer algorithms and techniques to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with heart diseases. We have established research collaborations with leading USA and China hospitals and our software packages are being used by several clinical trials. Students have opportunities to work with cardiologists and finish their dissertations in leading hospitals. Successful candidates will receive a scholarship for their research work, which covers their tuition and living expenses, and receive a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science after completing the program.
(1) We are especially interested in candidates with MS degrees in computer science, mathematics, engineering (computer, biomedical, electrical, etc.), or physics (medical or nuclear physics). Candidates with Bachelor degrees and outstanding academic records will also be fully considered. Experience in image processing / machine learning will be a plus.
