The School of Computer Science at the University of Lincoln is pleased to offer
studentships in subjects that reflect its international expertise.
The fees-only studentships had been closed
http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/ACS788/phd-studentships/.
Follow the link to see the research areas, conditions and how to apply. Some suggested
topics (any other topics are welcome) are:
1. Automated screening for diabetic retinopathy. Integrating multiple signs (e.g. lesions, vascular anomalies) to automatically grade retinal images for retinopathy.
2. High performance embedded system for retinal image analysis using specialist parallel hardware (FGPA) toward automated screening for diabetic retinopathy.
3. Fast, low-energy embedded video and pattern analysis using specialist parallel
hardware (FGPA), and low-level biologically-inspired algorithms.
4. Algorithms for tracking individuals in crowded and noisy scenes, and with moving
cameras.
5. Corneal nerves identification and segmentation.
6. Natural language processing: Arabic language computing.
7. The role of retinal vascular geometry analysis in the early diagnosis, prediction
and follow up of patients with open angle glaucoma.
8. Characterisation of changes in blood vessel width: tortuosity and venous beading.
9. Analysis retinal vascular geometrical features in diabetic/hypertension subjects
with different grades of diabetic retinopathy.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
We welcome any enquiries relating to possible collaboration using retinal imaging
and measurement. Also we always welcome any potential researchers/students to contact
us to discuss any potential research ideas.
