Requirements:
The candidate should have a firstclass or upper second class honours degree, or a master’s degree(or equivalent qualification), in in computer science, physical sciences, or a closely related subject. Evidence of good spoken and written English is essential. The candidate should have an IELTS score of 6.5 or above, or an equivalent qualification, if the first language is not English. This position is open to all qualified candidates irrespective of nationality.
Degree:
The student will be awarded a PhD degree from the University of Liverpool (UK) upon successful completion of the program.
Funding:
The PhD studentship is available for three years subject to satisfactory progress by the student.The award covers tuition fees for three years (currently equivalent to RMB 80,000 per annum) and provides a monthly stipend of 3500 RMB as a contribution to living expenses. It also provides up to RMB 16,500 to allow participation at international conferences during the period of the award. It is a condition of the award that holders of XJTLU PhD scholarships carry out 300-500 hours of teaching assistance work per year. The scholarship holder is expected to carry out the major part of his or her research at XJTLU in Suzhou, China. However, he or she is eligible for a research study visit to the University of Liverpool of up to three months, if this is required by the project.
Project Description:
Laser myopic correction by Lasik has been commonly used in eye surgeries. Considerable research has been carried out and encouraging progress made in recent years. This covers properties of the cornea and behaviour of tissue in different parts of the eye, topography and material behaviour of individual patient’s eyes, prediction using finite element (FE) analysis to estimate the corneal shape change and the change in refractive power.
Further effort is still required to advance the research to aid the decision making for Lasik surgeries. This project aims to develop an intelligent planning tool for the refractive surgeries with predictive functions. Novel research will be conducted on numerical modelling of the topography and material behaviour of individual patient’s eyes to simulate refractive surgery procedures, and advanced techniques for determining optimum surgical procedure parameters. The project will also develop a comprehensive database for fundamental information and knowledge representation, and a dedicated graphical user interface.An enthusiastic graduate from computer science, physical sciences, or a closely related subject is sought.
