MSc Position in 3D Photoacousting Tomography

We seek a graduate student with strong math, computational, and engineering background. The research project involves developing algorithms and software for image reconstruction from non-contact measurements obtained through photoacousting tomography. Knowledge in image reconstruction methods is desirable. High-performance, and in particular, GPU computing will be deployed. This is part of a larger project “Non-contact photoacoustic tomography for predicting early response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients” between McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario) and Western University (London, Ontario).

Interested candidates are encourage to send a CV (by email) to Dr. Q. Fang (qiyin.fang@mcmaster.ca) and Dr. N. Nedialkov (nedialk@mcmaster.ca).

Potential candidates should have strong background in one or more of the following areas:

• Optical design, spectroscopy, laser physics
• Image/signal processing
• Optofluidics
• Tissue optics, microscopy, and other biophotonics research
