Catégorie : Doctorant
PhD Project short description
The aim of this PhD thesis is to develop new mathematical methods and algorithms that will allow the use of population-level longitudinal studies to model spatial and temporal deformation patterns in 3D biological objects. Using novel geometric and deep learning techniques, we aim to create novel methods that will allow characterization of how the 3D shape of objects deforms with aging, disease progression, and interaction with their environment. These methods will also allow the simulation of spatio-temporal deformations in anatomical organs and the simulation of spatio-temporal deformations in anatomical organs. Benefits include a better understanding of growth processes, predictive models of degenerative disease progression, and a computational framework that will help design appropriate mitigation and intervention strategies.
Keywords: Deep Learning, 3D vision, shape analysis, geometric vision.
Working Environment
The thesis will carry out under joint co-supervision between IMT Nord Europe in France (Professor Hazem Wannous from CERI SN, HIDE team, IMT Nord Europe, and Murdoch University (Professor Hamid Laga from the School of Information Technology, Murdoch University)
The PhD thesis will be hosted for 18 months in the Centre for Education, Research and Innovation (CERI) Digital Systems at IMT Nord Europe (Lille, France) and 18 months in Murdoch University (Perth, Australia).
The PhD will be funded for 3 years (~1700-1800€ net per month for 18 months in France and AU$33000 net per year for 18 months in Australia). During the thesis, there will be opportunities to teach at IMT Nord Europe and Murdoch University, subject to satisfactory progress.
Team supervision
- Professor Hamid Laga, Murdoch University, Australia
- Professor Hazem Wannous,, IMT Nord Europe, France
Candidate profile
