The Postdoc will be responsible for:

Development of methods for using implicit representations in medical image analysis.

Implementing and evaluating solutions based on implicit representations for various downstream tasks.

Development of multimodal geometric deep learning methods using different representations simultaneously.
Working with the PhD student (under the PI’s supervision) on combining several geometric representations simultaneously and evaluating their performance on the defined downstream tasks.

Data Acquisition and Unification (continuous).

Actively helping the PI with the management of the data used in the project.

Preparing scientific publications and taking part in international conferences to present the project outcomes.
