Post doctoral position in biomedical ultrasound. Lung nodule imaging for surgery guiding.

In collaboration with leading experts in the field, you will be at the forefront of developing groundbreaking ultrasound-based real-time methods for detecting and precisely localizing lung nodules, to guide nodule resection surgery. Your research will play a pivotal role in advancing the capabilities of surgical interventions, enhancing patient outcomes, and increasing chance of cure.

Duties and Responsibilities

Investigate and innovate ultrasound imaging techniques using ultrasound multiple scattering as a source of contrast, to accurately detect and localize lung nodules in real-time. Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of surgeons, engineers, and roboticists to develop state-of-the-art technological solutions. Conduct experimental evaluations, data analysis, and algorithm development to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed methods. Publish research findings in high-impact journals and present at conferences to contribute to the scientific community's knowledge.
