PhD Studentships

PhD Studentship "Augmented Reality for Robotic Surgery"

Supervision Team: Professor Matt Clarkson and Professor Dan Stoyanov
This project aims to develop novel automated registration (alignment) methods for RAS for nephrectomy. This may include some/all of the following:
Aim 1: We will employ Artificial Intelligence (AI) based approaches to extra features such as surfaces or contours from laparoscopic video and ultrasound images. In parallel, we will be regularly collecting clinical data from surgical cases.
Aim 2: We will develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) based approaches to solve the automatic registration of pre-operative CT data to intra-operative video and utilise intra-operative ultrasound imaging.
Aim 3: We will develop a software platform to deploy models in real-time so that they can be run in parallel to clinical systems and used for a first in human clinical feasibility study.
Aim 4: We will validate algorithms using simulations, lab-based phantom validations, and qualitative clinical evaluation with a range of surgeons.
Application Deadline: Friday 19th July 2024

PhD Studentship "Video Analysis for Reducing Intraoperative Injury in Robotic-Assisted Surgery"

Supervision Team: Dr Evangelos Mazomenos and Professor Dan Stoyanov
The proposed research will develop surgical video analysis technology based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), focused on reducing the risk of intraoperative injury in RAH. Such technology has the potential to elevate the perception and understanding of the surgical environment, by identifying and highlighting critical anatomy and surgical tools and detecting surgical errors in real-time. Successful automation of these tasks can power computer assisted navigation systems to increase safety and efficiency during delivery of RAH.
Application Deadline: Friday 19th July 2024
