Job Description

We aim to develop advanced AI-driven models for constructing cardiac digital twins—personalized virtual heart models that integrate multi-modal patient data, including medical imaging, electrocardiograms (ECG), and electronic health records.

Our research focuses on high-fidelity cardiac simulations, including electrophysiological (EP) modeling to study arrhythmias and electrical conduction abnormalities, as well as biomechanical simulations to analyze cardiac deformation and hemodynamics. By combining AI techniques with computational cardiac modeling, we seek to uncover mechanistic insights into heart diseases, enabling more precise diagnosis, risk stratification, and personalized treatment strategies. This research sits at the intersection of AI and cardiac sciences, pushing the boundaries of digital twin technology to revolutionize patient-specific simulations. We will collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team of experts from NUS, University of Oxford, Imperial College London, and Fudan University, fostering a cutting-edge research environment that bridges AI, medical imaging, and computational cardiology.

Job Requirements

• Possess a PhD degree in biomedical engineering, computer science, computational physics, applied mathematics, or a related field.
• Strong self-motivation and enthusiasm for AI applications in healthcare, particularly in cardiac digital twins.
• Extensive experience in cardiac simulation and modeling, such as electrophysiological(EP) simulations, cardiac mechanics, or multi-scale heart modeling.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a proven research track record, demonstrated by first-author publications in top-tier journals and conferences.
• Proficiency in programming (Python, C++, MATLAB) and familiarity with computational frameworks for cardiac modeling (e.g., FEM-based solvers, PINNs, or cardiac electrophysiology software).
• Excellent communication skills in both written & verbal form for the purposes of scientific writing and presentations.
• Open to fixed-term contract.
