Internships, Graduate Student positions and Postdoctoral Research Positions are available in the area of biological/biomedical signal processing and mathematical modeling.

Job Description:

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

Topics include:
o modeling of epileptic seizures (from abstract network models to detailed biophysical models);
o neural implants for seizure suppression (from control/game theoretic analysis to hardware design);
o diagnosis of brain disorders, from EEG and other brain signals (Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy);
o graphical models and nonparametric statistical models for analyzing electrophysiological data (e.g., spike sorting and decoding);
o 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, MGH, Harvard University.

Besides the above positions, we are also recruiting students and postdocs for projects within the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology (SMART), to be supervised by myself and MIT faculty.
In those projects we apply mathematical engineering to problems in bioengineering and biochemistry, for example:
o Bayesian modeling of parasitic life cycle
o large-scale graphical models for functional genomics
o stochastic modeling and control engineering in the context of tissue generation.
