Scholarship from Nanyang University

Graduate and Postdoctoral Research in Medical Engineering, School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

March 9, 2010

Graduate student positions and postdoctoral research positions are available in the area of medical engineering at the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

Students with research interests at the interface of electrical engineering and biology are especially encouraged to apply.

Topics include:

* modeling of epileptic seizures (from abstract network models to detailed biophysical models);
* neural implants for seizure suppression (from control/game theoretic analysis to hardware design);
* 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); and,
* principled statistical models for merging different brain imaging modalities (EEG/MEG/fMRI/DTI/single-unit recordings/etc.).

The research is conducted in collaboration with partners at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute, MIT, and MGH / Harvard.

Graduate student applicants will pursue PhD in Electrical Engineering.

Please send detailed curriculum vitae, statements of research interests, three references and relevant publications (if applicable), electronically, to:
