[Infovis] [PhD Opening at Utrecht University] PhD in Visual Analytics for Explainable Visual Rehabilitation

[Chatzimparmpas, A. (Angelos)]

Dear colleagues,


We are hiring a fully funded PhD Student at Utrecht University, NL!


Do you want to develop a Visual Analytics solution to help therapists monitor the rehabilitation of visually impaired patients? This PhD project is for you!


In this PhD project, several teams (clinical centers, serious game developers, and academic institutions) combine their multidisciplinary skills to create and deploy a solution for rehabilitating patients having visual impairments by offering them training scenarios using a virtual reality (VR) setup.


As PhD candidate in this project, you will conduct independent, high-quality research resulting in a doctoral dissertation. Your research will focus on designing a Visual Analytics solution to analyse data from rehabilitating patients with hemianopsia (partial blindness). With the support of explainable AI models, you will develop Visual Analytics dashboards for exploring complex data recorded from the training patients including eye tracking, task progress, and success rates. By quantifying model uncertainty, these dashboards will enable therapists to monitor and improve patients’ visual rehabilitation progress. You will collaborate with a diverse project team of academics, clinicians, and software developers to realize the goals of the project.
