Mixed reality in surgery

Summary

The project is aimed at applying current advancements in computer vision and graphics to enable near real-time interaction for surgical planning and decision making. The project will provide an opportunity to collaboratively work with computational scientists and surgeons exploring novel ways to transform research and practice in surgical care.

The project is initially intended to develop state-of-the-art augmented reality methods in surgery. These algorithms will then be used to develop a rendering software for surgical planning. You will investigate different approaches and find novel ways to improve the current limitations in this field.

Applicants to research degree programmes should normally have at least a first class or an upper second class British Bachelors Honours degree (or equivalent) in an appropriate discipline. The criteria for entry for some research degrees may be higher, for example, several faculties, also require a Masters degree. Applicants are advised to check with the relevant School prior to making an application. Applicants who are uncertain about the requirements for a particular research degree are advised to contact the School or Graduate School prior to making an application.

The minimum English language entry requirement for research postgraduate research study in the School of Computer Science is an IELTS of 6.5 overall with at least 6.5 in writing and at least 6.0 in reading, listening and speaking or equivalent. The test must be dated within two years of the start date of the course in order to be valid.
