The HORAO research group develops imaging Mueller polarimeters for visualizing healthy human brain tissue and human brain tumors. The final goal is the integration into a neurosurgical microscope to be used on humans.

We currently have one open position at École polytechnique:

• Postdoctoral Fellowship (100%, two years, starts 04/2024, Position Profile)

And two open positions in Bern:

• Paid Internship – Computer Science (50-100%, 3-6 months, starts ASAP, Position Profile)
• Internship – Polarimetric Imaging and Histological Analysis for Brain Tumor Detection (20-100%, 6-10 months, starts 09/2024, Position Profile)

We currently offer Master projects on the following topics:

• Polarimetric instrumentation for biomedical diagnostics of brain tissue (read more)
• Design and development of a partial Mueller matrix macroscope for visualization of brain tissue (read more)
• Image segmentation for neurosurgical intervention (read more)
• Multimodal Registration of histological and polarimetric images of brain tissue
• Polarimetric Mosaicing for imaging of macroscopic brain sections
• AI-based Polarimetric multimodal delineation of brain neoplastic tissue
• Advanced visualization of multidimensional polarimetric images of the brain
