Offer Description

Tasks to be performed: The main task will consist in generative advanced visualisations for personalised clinical recommendations, using advanced visual analytics for the interactive exploration of multi-modal data, which is in line with Task 4.1 in WP4 of the GENERALITAAT project.

The duration of these tasks is estimated over a period of 7 months.

Project description: The main goal of this position is to develop software tools to visualize complex data related to left atrial appendage applications, including imaging data and simulation results from computational fluid dynamics simulations. The candidate will be asked to process imaging data from patients, as well as to run the whole modelling pipeline developed in our group to obtain in-silico haemodynamics indices. Then, visualization tools based on visual analytics principles should be developed, in collaboration with clinical and academic partners. Evaluation forms with end-users will be required to assess the usefulness of the developed tools. 

Main research field: Visual analytics in healthcare

Group and complement: Grup 2 + Nivell u

Dedication and working hours: Part time (30h/week).

Planned remuneration approx: 27.254,86 € gross per year
