About the role:

The role will engage in translational research developing AI tools for rapid assessment of fetal heart anatomy and function from echocardiography images. It utilizes such tools to assess a type of advanced fetal heart intervention, fetal aortic valvuloplasty, where catheters are used to relieve flow obstruction in the fetal heart to avoid a progression to congenital heart malformation at birth. It will further develop a computational model for better patient selection.

Jochen Blumberger at the Condensed Matter and Materials Physics Laboratory, University College London, UK.

Interested candidates may want to work on one of the following two projects.

Project 1: Machine Learning Molecular Dynamics.

The project involves the** development and application of machine learning methods that enable a major boost of the time and length scales accessible to ab-initio/first principles molecular dynamics simulations.** You will contribute to the development of novel work flow...

Large-scale wind turbines, specifically located offshore, present very specific technical challenges. Structural design and optimisation of performance in energy conversion are dependent on a correct estimation of the effects of flow, but scale and interaction between devices have a significant impact.

In this project you will work on and develop numerical modelling capabilities for arrays of turbines with non-homogeneous flows and wake effects. The modelling technology will be leveraged to devel...
