[visionlist] PhD position "Control for high-resolution Optical Coherence Tomography"

[Michel Verhaegen]

The Delft Center for Systems and Control of the Delft University of 
Technology, The Netherlands,
announces a PhD position *"Control for high-resolution Optical Coherence 
Tomography"*

/*Contact point: M.Verhaegen at tudelft.nl*/

The PhD Position is available in the Smart Optics Group lead by 
Professor M. Verhaegen. The
research focuses on the use of advanced identification and data driven 
control methodologies for
high resolution imaging for developing a compact optical coherence 
tomography (OCT) system.
In existing OCT systems the necessary lateral resolution for cellular 
imaging of biological tissue is
achieved by the application of standard adaptive optics systems. The 
major drawback of these
bulky systems is cost. In the project we aim at developing smart 
algorithms to maintain resolution
of AO-OCT systems while reducing cost and size of the resolution 
enhancement module. The
project is indicated by iOCT -- integrated OCT and is financially 
supported by the IOP Photonic
Devices Research program of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. The 
multidisciplinary
project establishes collaboration with the clinical researchers of the 
AMC (Amsterdam Medical
Center), the Dutch Research Institute TNO and the SME Focal. A prototype 
of the iOCT system
will be developed and validated in a clinical setting.

We are looking for a candidate with a solid interest and background in 
advanced control engineering method design and/or image processing with 
a clear biomedical interest. The candidate should have an MSc degree in 
Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, 
or the equivalent, with a strong background in numerical algorithms for 
system identification and control targeted towards image processing. 
Experience with parallel or multi-core processing is an advantage.

*Faculty/department *Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering
*Level *Master degree
*Maximum employment *Maximum of 38 hours per week (1 FTE)
*Duration of contract *4 years
*Salary scale *EUR2042 to EUR2612 per month gross
