Artificial intelligence techniques for illness detection by using MRI

This PhD position at the University of Southampton focuses on research into hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE), a condition that affects the brains of newborns during childbirth due to oxygen shortages. The project is supervised by Dr. Sasan Mahmoodi and Professor Brigitte Vollmer, both of whom have expertise in neuroscience and medical science. HIE is a significant cause of neonatal brain injury and can lead to long-term neurodevelopmental issues. The research will likely involve investigating the mechanisms of brain injury, neuroprotection strategies, and possibly clinical or imaging approaches to better understand and mitigate the effects of HIE. The University of Southampton provides a collaborative environment for cutting-edge research in perinatal neuroscience. Funding details and specific entry requirements are not provided in the current description. Interested candidates should look for further information regarding application procedures and eligibility criteria.
