Digital twins are virtual representations of physical objects, that are starting to be widely used in industry and healthcare. The twin can be used to track the health of the object, combining complex models and data. In this project, you will look at develop machine learning methodology to develop digital twins of the hearts of patients being treated for cardiac problems. In particular, looking at how to combine data that lives on manifolds, with patient specific simulations of their heart function. You will be joining a large team of researchers working on the problem, spread across Nottingham, Imperial College London, and Sheffield. As part of the project, you will be expected to collaborate with others in the team (mostly non-mathematicians), which will provide opportunities for developing a wide and valuable skillset.

Funding covers a stipend at the RCUK rate (£17,668 for 2022-23) and fees at the level of a UK domestic student.

A 3.5 year PhD studentship, beginning in October 2023.
