FaceTwin Project: PhD and Postdoc Research Positions
Join an upcoming FNP-funded project developing digital twins of facial blood vessels for precise blood pressure simulation.
Best for:Best for researchers and students in computer science and biomedical engineering interested in medical image analysis and cardiovascular modeling.
Overview
Sano Centre for Computational Personalized Medicine is preparing an early invitation for upcoming research positions within the FaceTwin project, funded by the Foundation for Polish Science. The project focuses on creating a digital twin of facial blood vessels to enable accurate, contactless blood pressure measurement through advanced computer vision, numerical simulation, and artificial intelligence. The initiative brings together international partners including the University of Sheffield's Insigneo Institute and industry partner ShenAI. Anticipated openings include multiple PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and MSc students starting in 2027.
