PhD Projects and Studentships
You will develop a computational platform to combine the image processing and mechanistic modelling to improve the current understanding of neurodegenerative diseases, such as stroke. More specifically, you will assist with reconstruction of high-resolution human brain models from HiP-CT images, focusing on vasculature and permeability distribution. You will then use the multiple-network poroelastic model to obtain high-accuracy fluid dynamic characteristics, such as blood flow and CSF pressure, in the brain, which can be used to identify abnormalities in stroke patients, help early diagnosis and provide a virtual tool to evaluate different treatments.
