2 PhD Positions in Computational Analysis for Imaging Mass Spectrometry and Multi-modal Molecular Imaging at Delft University of Technology

The Van de Plas lab is currently offering two PhD positions in computational methods for multi-modal molecular imaging, with a focus on imaging mass spectrometry and microscopy.

The lab is located at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands, and is part of the Delft Center for Systems and Control. Our research activities lie at the interface between (i) mathematical engineering and machine learning; (ii) analytical chemistry and instrumentation; and (iii) life sciences and medicine. We explore new ways of acquiring, processing, and mining the massive data sets that imaging mass spectrometry and other molecular imaging modalities can produce. Research topics include:

Signal processing (e.g. removal of noise, baseline correction, etc.)
Dimensionality reduction and transformations (e.g. wavelet transform, dictionary learning, etc.)
Pattern recognition and matrix factorizations (e.g. non-negative matrix factorization, convex optimization, etc.)
High-level biological interpretation (e.g. automated anatomical interpretation)
Data mining across different imaging sensors (e.g. data-driven multi-modal image fusion)
