Scholarship in Nanyang Technology University (NTU), Singapore

Overview
Scholarships in Nanyang Technology University. Training internhsip, Graduate mastern and PhD, Postdoctoral. Available area for biological/biomedical/signal processing / mathematical modelling.

Work Description: Electrical engineering and biology students is encouraged to apply this position.

Topics area:
diagnosis of brain disorders, from EEG and other brain signals (Alzheimer`s disease and epilepsy);
graphical models and nonparametric statistical models for analyzing electrophysiological data (e.g., spike sorting and decoding);
principled statistical models for merging different brain imaging modalities (EEG/MEG/fMRI/DTI/single-unit recordings/etc.).
neural implants for seizure suppression (from control/game theoretic analysis to hardware design);
modeling of epileptic seizures (from abstract network models to detailed biophysical models);

This research is collaborated with RIKEN Brain Science Institute, MIT, MGH, Harvard University.

Besides the above positions, we are also recruiting students and postdocs for projects within the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology (SMART), to be supervised by myself and MIT faculty.

In those projects we apply mathematical engineering to problems in bioengineering and biochemistry, for example:

Bayesian modeling of parasitic life cycle
large-scale graphical models for functional genomics
stochastic modeling and control engineering in the context of tissue generation.
