First and foremost we would like to thank you for your interest in joining our research group. Please see below for details.
Projects
The specific clinical projects vary from brain health (traumatic brain injury, dementia), liver and kidney disease, lung disease, endometriosis, orthopedic surgery, interventional radiology. You will be involved in developing and deploying machine learning methods to solve important clinical problems. You will be interacting with expert clinicians, engineers, and scientists. There will be opportunities for international travel for collaborations and presentations of research work at international meetings.
Qualifications
Experience in medical image analysis
Experience in developing machine learning (deep learning) methods for medical imaging data
Software skills (Python, MONAI, ITK, C++)
For Ph.D. candidates record of publication in international conferences (MICCAI, IPCAI, MIDL, IEEE) and/or journals.
Undergraduate Student Opportunities
Our laboratory is always happy to host undergraduate students for various research projects. If your interest is in medical image analysis, computer-assisted surgery, diagnostics, and software development. Please email your transcript and CV to Dr. Ilker Hacihaliloglu for initial evaluation.
Graduate Student Application Procedure
Please email Dr. Ilker Hacihaliloglu, a brief statement of interest, and your CV. This request should be sent as early as possible (ideally the beginning of summer before your application deadline. For example if your application deadline is January 15 2022 you should contact us in April 2021).
