Current PhD and Post Doc projects

  • Better patient selection to Trans Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) for severe aortic stenosis: is preoperative myocardial flow reserve related to long-term outcome?
  • Automatic detection of aortic valve events using deep neural networks on cardiac signals from epicardially placed accelerometer.
  • Enhanced monitoring of cardiac function in cardiac surgery using 3-axes accelerometers.
  • Improved early diagnosis of thrombosis in Left Ventricular Assist Device using accelerometer.
  • New real-time decision support during blood loss using machine learning on vital signs.
  • The hemodynamic influence of venous pressure, mechanical ventilation, catecholamines and inflammation during laparoscopic liver resection and radiofrequency ablation of colorectal cancer liver metastasis. 
  • Novel methods for evaluating acute response to cardiac resynchronization therapy
  • Improved detection of adverse events during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)
  • Improved monitoring in awake craniotomy
