Job description

• Project title: Noninvasive monitoring of intracranial pressure from transcranial acoustic signals.
• Project:
• The topic of the PhD project is digital signal processing in the field of non-invasive intracranial pressure (nICP) monitoring. The project is a collaboration between Department of Informatics (Group for Digital Signal Processing and Image Analysis; DSB), University of Oslo, and Department of Neurosurgery, Oslo University Hospital (Neurovascular-Hydrocephalus Research Group). The PhD position is particularly embedded in the group Digital Signal Processing and Image Analysis (DSB) at the Department of Informatics, University of Oslo. There are about 15 PhD students associated with the group.
• Monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) has a crucial role in the surveillance and diagnostics of patients with brain disease or brain injury. Today ICP monitoring depends on a surgical procedure including placement of a sensor within the scull and the brain parenchyma, which carries a risk of severe complications in 1-2 of 100 patients. Scientists have struggled for decades to develop methods for nICP monitoring. Recently, transcranial acoustic (TCA) signals were used to determine nICP with rather good accuracy, incorporating a mathematical model for the association between TCA and iICP signals. The work, which will take place in Oslo, shall further explore the use of transcranial acoustic signals for nICP measurements. Knowledge about wave propagation in complex media shall be incorporated into a mathematical model based on TCA/ICP signals. Measurements will be done in patients with various kinds of neurosurgical diseases. This project shall pave the way for accurate nICP monitoring.

Qualifications

• The applicant is required to hold a Master's degree or equivalent in physics, biomedical engineering, or acoustics and should have good analytical and programming skills. It is imperative that the candidate has a proven ability to work in an experimental setting with a mixed group of collaborators from both the physical and the biomedical fields and is willing and interested in doing laboratory work at Oslo University Hospital. Besides technical skills, we are looking for a curious, ambitious candidate who is highly motivated to do research and contribute to the work done at our group. Good communication skills in both oral and written English are expected. We strongly encourage that the application is accompanied by a short cover letter explaining briefly how the applicant's background and education fit the goals and requirements of this project.
