Postdoctoral position(s) available
Theoretical Modeling of the
Dynamics of the Pacing Systems of Heart and Respiration
of Infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Units
One or two postdoctoral positions are available for a theoretical and computational project at the
College of William and Mary and at the University of Virginia in collaboration with UVA Medical
Center. The project focuses on the development of predictive models of the cardiorespiratory
system from continuous EKG, respiratory, and SpO2 signals for infants at high risk of apnea of
prematurity (AOP). AOP is one of the most common serious disorders of premature infant, and
there exists a substantial clinical need for automated detection and prediction of future episodes
from physiological waveforms.
Specific projects tasks: (1) collection of a 10 TB waveform database from infants admitted to
UVA Medical Center NICU; (2) creation of pattern recognition algorithms; (3) statistical analysis
of collected physiological data; and (4) modeling the coupling between respiration, heart rate
and blood pressure by methods of modern nonlinear dynamics. Excellent programming skills
(C/C++/Matlab/Matlab GUIDE/SQL) required. Expertise in nonlinear dynamics and signal
processing is strongly desired.
