Phd/Postdoc Position in Matheon Project A1 “Modelling, Simulation and Optimal Control of Thermoregulation in the Human Vascular System” (2 years + renewal) in ZIB (Zuse Institute Berlin)

The position is concerned with mathematical therapy planning for regional and local hyperthermia. This cancer therapy aims at heating tumors by microwave radiation or ultrasound absorption. The applicators introducing energy into the body have to be controlled in such a way that the highest possible thermal dose is supplied to the tumor, but surrounding healthy tissue is not damaged due to high temperature. The mathematical treatment of this complex control problem involves the computation of the specific absorption rate, simulation of the heat transport in perfused tissue, and optimization of the applicator controls. All computations need to be carried out on individual 3D virtual patient models.

The successful candidate will be concerned with the development and integration of simulation and optimization algorithms for hyperthermia treatment planning inside a virtual lab.

We are looking for candidates holding a master/diploma in mathematics. Applicants must have thorough knowledge in numerical analysis. Familiarity with optimization algorithms, interdisciplinary modelling, and theory and numerics of partial differential equations is desirable. Programming skills in C++ are required. Experience with large FEM packages is appreciated.
