About the Project
PhD in Biomedical Engineering: Mapping cardiovascular disease progression
Investigate Coronary Artery Disease Development Over Years Using Medical Image Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling_
Introduction
Are you a driven and ambitious candidate passionate about biomedical engineering? We have an exceptional PhD opportunity that merges your academic aspirations with groundbreaking research in cardiovascular health. Join us as we track how cardiovascular disease develops in patients over time and how we can map this progression to identify those at risk early. Using biofluid markers in medical images, your work will contribute to life-saving advancements.
Understanding heart disease: Why some patients are at a higher risk than others
Heart disease, specifically pl aque narrowing of the coronary artery (the arteries around the heart), is a key indicator of an imminent heart attack. However, most people do not experience symptoms beforehand. Thus, developing medical imaging markers which may be used for early diagnosis can make an important difference in the lives of many. Investigating the underlying biofluid mechanic processes in patients with follow-up images can reveal a wealth of new information about the disease mechanisms we did not know before. Your research will aim to unravel the underlying biofluid mechanisms of coronary artery disease, providing crucial insights for improved diagnostic techniques and treatment strategies.
Cutting-Edge Research: Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling
As a successful candidate, you will embark on an exhilarating research journey, leveraging the power of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling. By simulating and analysing blood flow patterns within the coronary arteries, your work will shed light on the haemodynamic factors contributing to plaque development, progression and rupture in a large population of diverse patients with different risk profiles. This interdisciplinary approach, blending biomedical engineering, fluid dynamics, and cardiovascular health, will pave the way for innovative solutions in preventing and managing the disease.
Collaborative Endeavours: A Multidisciplinary Team
Joining our esteemed research team, you will collaborate closely with biomedical engineering, cardiology, and computational modelling experts. This multidisciplinary environment will foster a vibrant exchange of ideas, nurturing a culture of innovation and scientific excellence. By working alongside accomplished professionals, you will expand your knowledge and develop invaluable skills in research methodology, data analysis, and scientific communication.
Impactful Contributions: Saving Lives Through Research
Through your dedicated efforts, you will make tangible contributions to cardiovascular health. Your research can revolutionise diagnostic methods and therapeutic interventions by deciphering the complex interactions between blood flow dynamics, arterial structure, and disease vulnerability. Your work will directly impact the lives of individuals at risk of heart attacks, providing hope and enhancing their chances of survival and recovery.
Collaboration Across Disciplines: Unlocking New Possibilities
At UNSW, we believe in the power of collaboration. As the successful candidate, you can work closely with a multi-disciplinary team comprising experts in medicine, computer sciences, and mechanical engineering. This diverse collaboration will broaden your knowledge and foster a unique environment where innovative ideas thrive.
