PhD Scholarship in Photoacoustic Optical Fiber Devices for in vivo Applications - DTU Electro

If you want to establish your career as an early-stage neuro-engineer and are currently looking for the best possible foundation for your dreams and ambitions, it is right here in front of you. With this PhD position, we offer you the possibility of establishing your career as a scientist in advanced photoacoustic neural interfaces for the central nervous system. You will be working at DTU Electro, in the Neural Devices and Gas Photonics group in close collaboration with the world-leading group Prof. Lei Wei from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. They are seeking a highly motivated and talented candidate for a PhD position to join their team and contribute to their efforts in developing next-generation neural devices for controlling the brain activity. You will work on an innovative project that involves the development and characterization of novel piezoelectric materials, optical fiber fabrication using thermal drawing process, integration of the developed interfaces with photoacoustic imaging setups, and in vivo evaluation of the interfaces for stimulation, recording and imaging of movement disorders in the motor cortex of the brain. Such an interface, which currently does not exist, will be capable of providing important information on how the brain works while having a high potential for clinical translation for the treatment of brain diseases such as Parkinson’s. This position offers a unique opportunity to engage in the field of neurophotonics, collaborate with WEI group in Singapore and Department of Neuroscience of University of Copenhagen. The PhD student will become part of the DTU and NTU collaboration with expertise in optical materials, design, fiber fabrication and in vivo investigations. Responsibilities and qualifications While existing methods for stimulation and imaging of brain activity constitute an important tool for medical doctors and neuroscientists, there are still significant bottlenecks towards treating major neurological diseases. For instance, while optogenetics is a powerful method to control neurons, genetic manipulation is required, imposing practical limitations on its clinical translation. On the other hand, calcium imaging offers limited temporal resolution because traditional calcium indicators have relatively slow kinetics, which means they cannot accurately capture rapid changes in neural activity. This PhD project will exploit the development of a novel bi-directional stimulation and imaging interface by utilizing an alternative neuromodulation approach to control brain activity based on photoacoustics. In this process, light pulses are absorbed by brain tissue, causing transient heating and thermal expansion and generating broadband ultrasound signals. The ultrasounds are then collected back from the same interface for image reconstruction. Photoacoustic imaging is a powerful method for high-resolution and deep tissue imaging because it combines the high contrast of optical imaging with the high spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging. Your overall focus will be developing photoacoustic fiber probes for neurostimulation, recording and imaging of the brain activity all-at-once. Your primary tasks will be: Identify the most suitable piezoelectric materials for the development of the fiber probes Simulate the optical properties of the photoacoustic fibers Fabricate and characterize in vitro the photoacoustic fiber probes Conduct animal experimentation Applying the developed probes for in vivo investigation with emphasis in the motor system Supervise BSc and MSc student projects Data analysis, writing of scientific articles and presentations at conferences and meetings. Participate in outreach activities including, but not limited to, social media updates, participation in public events and campaigns, as well as dissemination to popular press. Your required qualifications and skills are: Excellent English communication skills, both spoken and written. Self-motivation in research and innovation. Ability to work independently while effectively collaborating with partners. ‘ A master level education in the fields of materials, optical fiber technology, electrophysiology and imaging Experience in simulation tools such as COMSOL and Zemax including MATLAB coding You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree. As an ideal candidate, you should also have one or more competences below: Experience in material characterization and optical fiber fabrication using thermal drawing process. Optical characterization of fiber devices Experience with piezoelectric materials and photoacoustics Knowledge with imaging techniques and electrophysiology Experience with in vivo experiments in acute and chronic settings The ability to work independently while effectively collaborating with other team members The exact research activities will be continuously adapted to ensure high relevance and impact.

PhD Project: Evaluating focused ultrasound as a treatment and scientific tool to treat and investiga...

The Dept. of Neurosurgery, Dept. of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University is offering a fully funded PhD scholarship with expected enrollment 1 September 2025. The project will be carried out at Dept. of Neurosurgery, Aarhus University Hospital and conducted in close collaboration with the Departments of Neurology, Nuclear Medicine & PET and Neuroradiology. Project description The main purpose of this project is to assess the effect of MR-guided focused ultrasound thalamotomy (MRgFUSTh) in a well-characterized cohort of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients with tremor. While MRgFUSTh has long-lasting effects in patients with essential tremor, approximately 20% of patients with PD experience recurrence of the symptoms within 1-2 years of the treatment. A clinical audit suggests that patients with tremor symptoms which decrease upon levodopa treatment may have a lower chance of achieving a long-lasting clinical response to MRgFUSTh treatments. We aim to investigate how brain circuit dysfunctions, including dopaminergic dysfunctions, affect the clinical efficiency of MRgFUSTh in PD patients. We expect the results from this study will help identify pharmacological/imaging biomarkers at baseline that could be predictive of a favourable MRgFUSTh outcome in PD patients and, therefore, influence and improve how we select patients for the procedure. We also expect that results from this study will have important clinical and health-economic implications, as they will improve the current understanding of the clinical benefits and side-effect profile of unilateral MRgFUSTh for PD tremor which can lead to a better selection of PD patients for this procedure, and, possibly, identify strategies to improve outcomes in all patients.
