代尔夫特理工大学  PhD Position Scientific Machine Learning and Surrogate Modeling for Cardiovascular Digital Twins

TU Delft | Faculty Mechanical Engineering

Field：Engineering

APPLICATION DEADLINE:June15, 2024  

Job description

A cardiovascular digital twin is a physics-based computer simulation that models an individual's health and disease states to aid decision-making. These high-fidelity models are often computationally expensive, limiting their personalization and real-time clinical use. In this project, we aim to develop highly efficient data-driven surrogate models for parametrized partial differential equations, with application to computational cardiology.

In this project, you will combine advanced physics-based models of the human heart and vasculature with the latest breakthroughs in machine learning to develop scalable and robust surrogate models of cardiovascular digital twins. These surrogate models will be used to enhance personalized treatment planning and post-treatment monitoring for patients suffering from circulation overload disorders, specifically systemic hypertension, heart failure (with/without preserved ejection fraction), and hemodynamically complicated atrial septal defects.

The research will be conducted in the Department of BioMechanical Engineering at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) under the supervision of dr. ir. Mathias Peirlinck. The Peirlinck Lab integrates multimodal experimental data, physics-based modeling, and machine learning techniques to understand, explore, and predict the multiscale behavior of the human heart and cardiovascular system. More information on the research and team can be found onhttps://peirlincklab.com. This research is part of the VITAL project (https://vital-horizoneurope.eu/), a large international collaboration developing a comprehensive, clinically validated, multi-scale, multi-organ ‘digital twin’ modelling platform that is driven by and can represent individual patient data acquired both in the clinic and from wearable technology.

Prior experience in both scientific machine learning and numerical analysis of PDEs and ODEs is required. In addition, experience in the field of cardiac modeling, arterial modeling, (soft tissue) biomechanics, and/or electrophysiology will be strongly appreciated. As the successful candidate for this position, you will develop scientific machine learning algorithms, develop and run high-performance computer simulations, construct pipelines for model personalization to structural and functional data, and develop APIs between various software codes.

You will actively participate in (bi)weekly lab meetings, write scientific articles and reports, and give presentations and workshops at national and international conferences. Besides your research activities, you will also take part in teaching and supervision activities within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Delft University of Technology and beyond.

Requirements

• You have demonstrable experience with scientific machine learning and numerical analysis towards solving PDEs and ODEs on complex domains.

• Affinity with nonlinear continuum mechanics, finite element analysis, cardiovascular modeling, computational (soft tissue) biomechanics, cardiovascular (patho)physiology is appreciated.

PhD student in sustainable aqueous batteries

Uppsala University| Department of Chemistry

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 20 June, 2024  

About the Project

The Department of Chemistry - Ångström conducts research and education in the chemistry field. The department has more than 270 employees and has a turnover of 290 million SEK. At the department's six programs, we conduct very successful research of a high international standard.

We have a large number of externally funded research projects, often with international cooperation and we see continued good growth in our subject area. The department has education assignments in engineering programs and master's programs. More information is available on ourwebsite: (https://kemi.uu.se/angstrom/?languageId=1).

Future grid energy storage technologies must rely on abundant materials sourced from energy-efficient and environmentally friendly processes. Aqueous batteries based on widely available elements such as Na, Fe, and S hold considerable promise but face significant challenges with electrolyte degradation whereby the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is particularly notable. Several HER mitigation approaches are however emerging. The research project is dedicated to developing and implementingoperandoH2 gas analysis to investigate HER in aqueous batteries. Molecular electrolyte additives capable of suppressing HER will be identified and characterized to gain a fundamental understanding of their operating mechanisms. Performance testing and techno-economic analysis will be conducted to evaluate the most promising battery compounds.
The work will be carried out mainly at Ångström Advanced Battery Centre (ÅABC), which is housed within the Ångström Laboratory – one of Europe’s best equipped Materials Research Laboratories.

ÅABC involves the full-time activities of >80 researchers, of whom 8 are Senior Staff; the remainders are PhD students, postdocs, researchers and assistant professors. The group produces ca. 5 PhD theses annually. It is the leading research environments for the development of electrochemical storage materials and advanced battery technology in the Nordic countries. The focus of research is on modern commercial and next- generation Li-ion batteries, and future battery chemistries such as Na-ion, Li-S,organic electrodes, solid- state, etc. The expertise lies in synthesis of electrode and electrolyte materials and electrochemical testing, but equally important are the development and application of operando characterization, such as vibrational spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, diffraction, etc. and combinations of them.

Duties

We are looking for a highly motivated and ambitious student for this challenging project. The student will design, plan, and execute the experimental work, often in collaboration with colleagues, critically analyze and discuss the results, and disseminate the work orally at scientific conferences and written in the form of papers in peer-reviewed journals. Finally, the student is expected to be a good team player, and also participate in all mandatory group activities, including becoming the responsible person for specific lab equipment.

Requirements

• been awarded a Master’s degree in one of these subjects, or
• satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second cycle, or has acquired essentially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad.
• excellent oral and written proficiency in English.

Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant’s experience and skills complement and strengthen ongoing research within the department, and how they stand to contribute to its future development. Experience in electrochemistry, material characterization, and/or programming is beneficial.
