Descripción
About the position Biomaterial Science (BIOMAT) / Institute of Clinical Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, is offering a PhD position focused on AI-driven quantitative analysis and predictive modelling of biomaterials, tissues, and regenerative constructs. The project combines advanced 2D and 3D bioimaging, including micro/nanoCT, confocal microscopy and SEM, with computational image analysis, computer vision and machine learning. The aim is to develop robust and standardized methods to link structural, mechanical and biological properties to biomaterial performance and tissue reconstruction. The PhD candidate will work with multimodal datasets from biological tissues and engineered biomaterials and contribute to research on: quantitative 2D and 3D analysis of biological tissues using nanoCT; characterization of fibrous biomaterial scaffolds, including porosity, fiber architecture and structural stability; standardization and computational analysis of biomedical imaging data; AI-based prediction of cell and exosome distribution in regenerative biomaterials. The candidate will receive interdisciplinary training in biomaterials research, advanced imaging, quantitative image analysis, data processing and machine-learning-based modelling. More about the position The main purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree. The appointment is for 3 years and the place of work is Oslo, Norway. The research will primarily be carried out at the Oral Research Laboratory, which provides infrastructure for biomaterial production and characterization, cell culture, SEM, confocal microscopy, micro/nanoCT and histology. The project has a strong focus on regenerative medicine and dental applications, including hard- and soft-tissue reconstruction. The three-year project is expected to produce three scientific papers and a doctoral thesis. Your areas of responsibility will be Perform quantitative 2D/3D analysis of biological tissues and
