This announcement is posted on behalf of my colleague Dr. Minliang Liu. Please send all applications and inquiries directly to Dr. Liu at minliang.liu [at] emory.edu (minliang[dot]liu[at]emory[dot]edu). 

 

The Liu Lab (https://scholarblogs.emory.edu/cvdt/) has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral fellow and is recruiting PhD students for Fall 2027. PhD students will be enrolled in mechanical or biomedical engineering program at Georgia Tech. The lab is based in the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Emory University School of Medicine and is affiliated with the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University.

We are particularly interested in candidates with research interests in one or more of the following areas.

1. Scientific machine learning and differentiable solvers.

2. Computer vision for surgical video analysis and augmented reality-guided interventions.

3. Patient-specific digital twin modeling of cardiovascular diseases and interventions.

4. Experimental characterization and modeling of the mechanical behavior of cardiovascular tissues.

We welcome applications from candidates with a PhD in mechanical engineering, engineering mechanics, biomedical engineering, or a related field. Postdoctoral fellows are expected to lead research projects and help mentor graduate and undergraduate students.

Please email Dr. Liu with (1) your CV, (2) a cover letter describing your research interests and relevant experience, and (3) the names and contact information of three professional references.

We welcome inquiries from prospective PhD students who hold or are completing a bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering, engineering mechanics, biomedical engineering, or a related field. We look for students who are highly motivated and ready for PhD-level research training.

Please email Dr. Liu with (1) your CV, (2) a cover letter describing your research interests and relevant experience, (3) your undergraduate transcripts, plus your master's transcripts if you are pursuing or have completed a master's degree, and (4) your GRE scores, plus English proficiency test scores if you are an international applicant.
