PhD Candidate in Multispectral Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE)
Join an EU-funded MSCA Doctoral Network to advance multispectral imaging for wireless capsule endoscopy and improve gastrointestinal diagnostics.
Best for:Best for computer science or electrical engineering graduates with strong imaging and programming skills, interested in medical imaging and AI-driven healthcare solutions.
Overview
This PhD position at NTNU in Norway offers the opportunity to contribute to the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network CAPTURE, focusing on multispectral wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE). The project aims to enhance image-based diagnosis and monitoring of gastrointestinal diseases by developing multispectral imaging techniques for WCEs. The successful candidate will conduct research at the intersection of computer vision, artificial intelligence, and medical imaging, with a focus on optimizing spectral bands for pathology detection and improving imaging quality. The position includes participation in international workshops, conferences, and research secondments at partner institutions in Greece and Spain, providing a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research environment. The PhD candidate will be based in Gjøvik, Norway, and will be supervised by the Colourlab research group.
What you'll do
- Conduct high-quality doctoral research focused on developing multispectral imaging techniques for wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE).
- Determine optimal spectral bands for detecting and classifying gastrointestinal pathologies under resource constraints.
- Investigate and implement methods for improved pathology detection and visualization using multispectral approaches.
- Perform experimental verification of spectral bands using emulated capsules and custom-built endoscopes.
