<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Two funded PhD positions/scholarships are available at the College of Science and Engineering, Flinders University, Australia. The research area is in Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Projects are described below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span lang="EN-US">Project A: Deep Learning for medical image modality
</span></u></b><span lang="EN-US">This project will exploit Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for the synthesis of Head MRI from Head CT/multi-energy CT scan. We will focus the clinical applications in head stroke detection and diagnosis, traumatic brain
injury, and brain cancer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span lang="EN-US">Project B: Machine Learning for airport baggage inspection</span></u></b><span lang="EN-US">
</span>Baggage inspection is a measure to prevent the transportation of prohibited and dangerous goods and is a critical element of airport security. There is a growing need in delivering sufficient but more flexible security and ensure a more positive passenger
experience. This project will use machine learning and deep learning approaches in processing and analysing 2D and 3D x-ray images for baggage check, thus building a resilient, efficient, and intelligent system for airport security.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US">Essential and Desirable Criteria:</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> Candidates with a relevant background (e.g. Medical Image Analysis, Computer Vision, Computer Science, ICT and Engineering, Mathematics and Statistics)
are invited to apply. Positions are open to Australian and International students.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For<b> <u>project A</u>,</b> working knowledge of deep learning architectures, GANs and python is essential. Working knowledge of Matlab is desirable. Previous research experience with medical images e.g. CT and MRI images
is beneficial. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For<b><u> project B</u></b>, <span style="color:black">
working knowledge of Computer Vision and Machine Learning in images is essential. Competent in programming languages such as Matlab and python. Previous research experience with CT images is beneficial.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Dr Gobert Lee and Dr Mariusz Bajger and must be able to work independently and as part of the group. Collaboration with academic, clinical, and industrial partners
will be required. <span style="color:black">The successful candidate must also demonstrate excellent oral and written communication skills.
