</style><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Liberation
Serif","serif"">PhD in Visualization of
volumetric data from the MARS spectral scanner</span> </b><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The goal of this project is to develop a
medical
visualization software to visualize volumetric data coming from
the MARS
spectral scanner. This is a new type of medical x-ray scanner that
measures
functional tissue information of medical specimens and small
animals. The
technology uses spectral photon counting detectors.
(<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.bioengineering.ac.nz/mars/">http://www.bioengineering.ac.nz/mars/</a>)<span
style="">
</span>This project will involve developing software for
distributed graphics
rendering and also new visualization techniques for showing 3D
volumetric data.
This project has a duration of three years and is funded by a <b>NZD
16K p.a.
scholarship</b>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The MARS Team</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You are joining a vibrant multidisciplinary
group at the
forefront of developing, manufacturing, and applying new
technology for
biomedical use. We are strongly interlinked with industry and with
international partners. We have academic, clinical, manufacturing
and
commercial goals, which are all interconnected. Our strength
internationally is
our multidisciplinary team structure. Others marvel at how
engineers,
physicists, mathematicians, biologists, and medical folk can work
together. We
are dependent on each other to deliver. By working together, and
publishing
together, every team member advances towards their own personal
goals.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Your skills</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You should have experience in range of computer
languages
such as C/C++, Python, OpenGL, or Cuda. You should have knowledge
of the user
centered software design process and be interested in our your
users, which
include biologists, physicist and engineers. You should have the
ability to
understand 3D data and the skill to create visualizations that are
useful for
the users. This will require an understanding of computer
graphics.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Duties</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">International applicants will be required to
arrange for
their NZ student visa after an offer of a place. Please check
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.immigration.govt.nz">http://www.immigration.govt.nz</a>
for information about what type of visa might be
most suitable and the process of acquiring it. The university has
various types
of accommodation available on campus. Please check
