Applications are invited for a 3 year University funded Ph.D. project 
hosted in the School of Computing, Mathematics and Digital Technology at 
Manchester Metropolitan University.

This interdisciplinary project will expand on recent advances made at 
MMU and the Institute for Reproductive Medicine at the University of 
Warwick in microscopic embryological data processing and visualization.

The aim of the current research is to develop a more detailed 
understanding of the molecular basis of the changing 3D organization of 
developing. The student will develop methods for semi-automatic 
segmentation targeted at 3D microscopic embryological datasets, with 
implementation and testing on real pre-existing datasets. Based on the 
segmentation results, the student will then create physically based 3D 
models of embryo shapes and inner structures. The segmentation and 
visualization of the number, shape and size of blastomeres and nuclei 
will provide valuable information about the potential viability of the 
embryo, and will assist embryologists to understand the mechanisms of 
developmental failure.

The student will need to combine skills and interests in computer 
vision; C/C++ and MATLAB based implementation and physically based 
modeling. The student should have a good degree in Computer Science or a 
suitable other hard science or engineering subject. Preference will be 
given to students with appropriate M.Sc. or equivalent research experience.

The student will receive EU fees and a stipend of £12,000 per annum. The 
studentship should be taken up not later than 01/September/12. The Image 
and Sensory Computation research group is a lively research environment, 
which currently has 5 academics and 6 other researchers working on a 
variety of projects concerning human imaging. For full details and 
informal discussions, please contact:
