Job Description

We aim to develop advanced AI-driven models for constructing cardiac digital twins—personalized virtual heart models that integrate multi-modal patient data, including medical imaging, electrocardiograms (ECG), and electronic health records. Our research focuses on high-fidelity cardiac simulations, including electrophysiological (EP) modelling to study arrhythmias and electrical conduction abnormalities, as well as biomechanical simulations to analyse cardiac deformation and hemodynamic. By combining AI techniques with computational cardiac modelling, we seek to uncover mechanistic insights into heart diseases, enabling more precise diagnosis, risk stratification, and personalized treatment strategies. This research sits at the intersection of AI and cardiac sciences, pushing the boundaries of digital twin technology to revolutionize patient-specific simulations. We will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of experts from NUS, University of Oxford, Imperial College London, and Fudan University, fostering a cutting-edge research environment that bridges AI, medical imaging, and computational cardiology.
 
The selected individual is required to perform the followings:

•    Conduct high-impact research and publish results in top-tier journals.
•    Assist in grant/funding applications and support research proposal development
•    Co-supervise graduate students and contribute to their academic training. 

Qualifications

•    Possess a PhD degree in biomedical engineering, computer science, computational physics, applied mathematics, or a related field. 
•    Strong self-motivation and enthusiasm for AI applications in healthcare, particularly in cardiac digital twins. 
•    Extensive experience in cardiac simulation and modelling, such as electrophysiological (EP) simulations, cardiac mechanics, or multi-scale heart modelling. 
•    Strong problem-solving skills and a proven research track record, demonstrated by first-author publications in top-tier journals and conferences. 
•    Proficiency in programming (Python, C++, MATLAB) and familiarity with computational frameworks for cardiac modelling (e.g., FEM-based solvers, PINNs, or cardiac electrophysiology software). 
•    Excellent communication skills in both written & verbal form for the purposes of scientific writing and presentations. 
•    Open to fixed term contract.
