Current AI/ML PhD Projects
AutoPiX – Imaging for Patient Benefit in Arthritis (two PhD positions)
Supervisors: Philipp Seeböck & Jana Eder
AutoPiX combines multimodal imaging and AI to improve diagnosis and disease monitoring in arthritis. The PhD projects focus on developing machine learning methods to detect subtle joint changes, model disease progression, and identify new imaging biomarkers. The project is part of an international consortium and provides access to one of the world's largest curated arthritis imaging datasets.
Speaking Again – AI-Driven Voice Restoration of Pathological Speech
Supervisor: Philipp Aichinger
This project develops AI methods to transform pathological voices into natural-sounding speech. It is based on real clinical voice data and carried out in collaboration between the Medical University of Vienna and Graz University of Technology.
Clinical Pathways and Decision Support for Acute Chest Pain
Supervisor: Dominik Roth
This project uses clinical routine data to develop diagnostic and prognostic models that support physicians in making decisions in emergency medicine.
Machine Learning and In Silico Modeling of Sex Differences in Temporomandibular Joint Function (two PhD positions)
Supervisor: Benedikt Sagl
This project combines machine learning and biomechanical simulation to study sex-specific differences in temporomandibular joint function. One position focuses on hybrid modeling and data analysis, the other on reinforcement learning for modeling motor control.
