🌟 What an opportunity to do exceptional research with an exceptional PI!
My research group is recruiting MSc and PhD students at the University of Alberta in Canada. Research topics include generative modeling, representation learning, interpretability, inverse problems, and neuroAI. If interested, check my website and consider applying.
I am joining @UAlberta as a faculty member and @AmiiThinks this June! Excited to build my research group, working at the intersection of inverse problems, representation learning, generative models, interpretability, and neuroAI for emergent intelligence. 1/
We have released VARS-fUSI: Variable sampling for fast and efficient functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) using neural operators. The first deep learning fUSI method to allow for different sampling durations and rates during training and inference. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/
