Graduate student positions and postdoctoral research positions are available in the area of medical engineering at the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
Students with research interests at the interface of electrical engineering and biology are especially encouraged to apply.
Topics include:
- modeling of epileptic seizures (from abstract network models to detailed biophysical models);
- neural implants for seizure suppression (from control/game theoretic analysis to hardware design);
- diagnosis of brain disorders, from EEG and other brain signals (Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy);
- graphical models and nonparametric statistical models for analyzing electrophysiological data (e.g., spike sorting and decoding); and,
- principled statistical models for merging different brain imaging modalities (EEG/MEG/fMRI/DTI/single-unit recordings/etc.).
The research is conducted in collaboration with partners at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute, MIT, and MGH / Harvard.
