Position Description: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a biomedical imaging technique that is used to make 3D cross sectional images of tissue. Current OCT systems are bulky and expensive. In this project we will work on novel technologies that can lower the cost and form factor of OCT. The work will focus on building a handheld swept-source OCT based on an integrated optics platform for waveguiding. Image processing and correction will be studied as motions of a handheld OCT probe need to be corrected for. The OCT device will be tested in application areas such as medical diagnostics and/or forensics. This project is part of the recently started IOP Photonic devices program “Low-cost handheld optical coherence tomography device”.

The Marie Curie PhD fellowship, Philips research, Netherlands is part of the project iCareNet (Intelligent ContextAware Systems for Healthcare, Wellness, and Assisted Living), a Marie Curie project within the Peo ple Programme of the 7th Framework of the European Commission.
With more than 20 partners and associated partners, the iCareNet project will conceive context aware solutions, leveraged through an interdisciplinary perspective ranging from sensing and sensor integration, to human-computer interaction and social factors involved in the deployment of context-aware applications. The open position is with Philips Research in Eindhoven but two secondments for three months are foreseen at one or two other iCareNet clinical/university partners.
