PHD STUDENT

ProfileBsc in: Biomedical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Physics or equivalent degree.Msc in a “hard skills” engineering field like, Electronics, Machine Learning, Robotics or equivalent degree.Summary of the positionIn the Sensors Division of the Medical Engineering Development & Innovation Center (https://www.medicuam.com/sensors-group/) we are developing new medical sensing concepts based on optoacoustic technology. We offer a PhD student position within the framework of the European Innovation Council Pathfinder project “MOSAIC” (https://eic.ec.europa.eu/eic-funding-opportunities/eic-pathfinder_en). The PhD candidate will develop optoacoustic medical sensors. In particular, the researcher will work in all the aspects of the development of the sensor, including 3D design, mathematical simulations, development ofsignal processing algorithms, machine learning applied to clinic data etc. The prototypes will be tested in the clinic to proof their value for the diagnosis and monitoring for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.The Medical Engineering Development & Innovation Center (MEDICUAM, https://www.medicuam.com) is devoted to the development of medical technologies to solve unmet clinical needs and transfer them to the industry. Our members have played important roles in the invention and development of innovative medical devices participating in several start-up companies . Our funding sources include the European Commission, funding bodies in the USA, the Spanish Government and the Autonomous Community of Madrid. Good knowledge in several of the following fields is required:Signal processingThe physics of wavesMachine learningBasic OpticsUltrasound imaging/sensingOptoacoustic imaging/sensingProgramming skills: Matlab, Python, C++ Languages. Fluency in English and Spanish is mandatoryLink to the offer: https://www.medicuam.com/wp-content/uploads/oferta_doctorado-2.pdf
