Funded Postdoc: Machine Learning in Cardiovascular Haemodynamics

CURAM's MedTrain+ is MSCA co-funded project to support 50 postdoctoral researchers in topics proposed by multiple supervisors including myself.

Outline: Hemodynamics modelling is essential for prognostics of cardiovascular diseases. It is conventionally simulated using finite element methods and can take days to produce high fidelity, clinically relevant predictions, which challenges their deployment. Physics Informed Neural Networks, trained using the experimental and patient data in our consortium, can address this problem.
