Job Summary
Department Overview
The objective of this position is to develop advanced imaging processing tools (including deep learning-based approaches) which help clinical scientists conduct research in the diagnosis and management of retinal diseases using advanced imaging technologies such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA). This requires maintaining current knowledge of the pertinent literature signal/image processing development to illuminate specific research questions. A significant percent effort will be placed on developing novel data processing toolkits validating developed image processing software with clinical fellows preparing patent disclosure writing and preparing presentations and manuscripts. Additionally a portion of the effort will be dedicated to training junior data scientist providing deep learning and digital processing expertise to guide junior fellow and taking a leading role in communication on OCT and OCTA grading projects.
