Research Scientist: Microwave Imaging for Cancer Detection

3 weeks ago


Loughborough, Leicestershire, United Kingdom Loughborough University Full time

Early detection is critical to improving survival rates. Traditional diagnostic methods such as CT and MRI are costly, inaccessible in underserved areas, and pose health risks due to ionising radiation.

This project will develop an AI-integrated MWI system specifically for thoracic cancer and lesion/infection detection. The plan involves developing an innovative system with advanced microwave sensors, cutting-edge imaging algorithms, and a compact, portable design tailored for pre-hospital and community-based settings.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Create customised AI models for improved diagnostic accuracy.
  • Design sensor systems tailored for medical applications.
  • Develop advanced medical imaging technologies.
  • Conduct translational research with real-world healthcare applications.

The studentship provides a tax-free stipend of £19,237 per annum plus university tuition fees for 3 years. This opportunity is ideal for individuals looking to develop their expertise in biomedical engineering, applied electromagnetics, and AI.
