Description

Supervisor – Dr Hongfu Sun

We are currently recruiting a PhD student to innovate on novel MRI methods that can be eventually applied to neuroscience and neurological diseases. Our lab is focusing on these research topics:

MR image processing through advanced optimization techniques and deep learning
To develop advanced image reconstruction methods for MRI post-processing techniques, such as Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) and accelerated MRI acquisition reconstruction. Particularly through (1) image optimization/regularization, compressed sensing, and (2) deep learning.
Fast, multi-parametric, and quantitative MRI acquisition methods at ultra-high field
To significantly reduce the total scan time for each subject, by (1) accelerating individual scans with parallel imaging techniques at ultra-high field, and (2) designing novel MRI sequences that produce multi-contrast weighted images and multi-parametric quantitative maps from a single MR acquisition.
Brain imaging applications in neuroscience and neurological diseases
To apply comprehensive image analysis on different MRI methods to better understand neuroscience, such as brain development in children and structural and functional connectivity of the brain, as well as some of the neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease/Dementia, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Schizophrenia, and Stroke.

A working knowledge of MATLAB, python, and C++ programming would be of benefit to someone working on this project.

Eligibility

To be eligible, you must meet the entry requirements for a higher degree by research.

How to apply

To apply for admission and scholarship, follow this link. There is no separate application for scholarship because you will have the opportunity to request scholarship consideration on the application for admission.

Before submitting an application you should:

check your eligibility
prepare your documentation
contact Dr Hongfu Sun (hongfu.sun@uq.edu.au) to discuss your suitability for this scholarship

When you apply, please ensure that under the scholarships and collaborative study section you:

Select ‘My higher degree is not collaborative’
Select 'I am applying for, or have been awarded a scholarship or sponsorship'.
Select ‘Other’, then ‘Research Project Scholarship’ and type in ‘CODE’ in the 'MRI METHODS' field.
