Cardiovascular engineering group

You will join the cardiovascular engineering group within our department. Research within our department bridges the gap between engineering and physics at one side and life sciences and clinical medicine at the other. We provide further understanding of pathological processes, develop and improve quantitative methods for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases: Science for LIFE. Our research lines under the guidance of six Principal Investigators covers the areas of biomedical photonics, medical imaging and cardiovascular engineering. We train some 80 Ph.D. students and are involved in the education of Bachelor and Master students in medicine, physics, biomedical sciences, information technology, and many other disciplines.
