Deadline: 26 Nov. 2012
A 3-year PhD scholarship is available at the biomedical engineering group at the Department of Electrical Engineering where we conduct research on advanced biomedical signal processing, medical imaging and biomechanics.
The project is an integral part of a biomedical research project between DTU Elektro and the ATG institute DELTA (ATG: Advanced Technology Group) aiming at new intelligent portable biomedical devices for patients at hospitals and for personal daily life use.
The project will focus on a new approach to discover acute critical diseases for the majority of hospital patients by using portable wireless devices for intelligent monitoring and interpretation of vital signs. A large number of critical complications and deaths can thus be avoided. The vital signs are expected to be derived automatically from different measurements like pulse, heart rate variability, respiration rate, and oxygen saturation. The challenge is to invent noise-robust real-time biomedical algorithms to search for relevant concurrent signs in different signals related to different acute critical diseases like sepsis. All measurements will be made from a single electronic patch (DELTA´s ePatch technology) placed on the sternum of the patient. The ePatch contain wireless sensor systems for the relevant measurements and processing. Research collaboration with two university hospital clinics and the ePatch group at DELTA is a very important part of the project.
Qualifications
Candidates should have a MSc in engineering or a similar degree with an equivalent academic level. Excellent mathematical, signal processing and programming skills are required. Experience in performing clinical studies, interpersonal skills and adaptability are important.
Salary and appointment terms
The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years. Expected scholarship start date: 2 January 2013.
Further information Further information about the PhD project may be obtained by contacting Associate Professor Helge B.D. Sørensen, phone (+45) 45255244 or hbs@elektro.dtu.dk.
