The internship program focuses on hands-on modeling/AI techniques to predict critical, clinical indicators using noninvasively collected physiological waveforms. The data comprises multi-modal, multi-channel vitals recorded in neonatal intensive care units, encompassing modalities ranging from heart rate variability to cerebral hemodynamics. Interns will have the opportunity to develop advanced deep learning models, such as self-attention transformers, while also applying established methods, such as CNNs and LSTMs, to analyze complex, finely sampled (i.e., 30-300 Hz) physiological data.
Key Duties, Expectations, and Learning Experiences: *Data Acquisition & Monitoring: Participate in bedside patient monitoring using wearable sensors to collect physiological waveforms. *Algorithm Development: Design and implement signal cleaning and feature extraction algorithms for multi-modal vitals, including arterial blood pressure waveforms and cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy. *Model Enhancement: Develop and integrate self-attention transformers into CNN-based models to improve the performance of noninvasive estimations, such as arterial blood pressure. *Optimization Frameworks: Develop automated parameter optimization pipelines to refine deep learning models. *Database & Tool Creation: Build computational tools for consolidating engineering model outputs and metadata, including patient clinical outcomes. *Research & Communication: Engage in scientific presentation, writing, and publication efforts. *Collaboration: Work within multidisciplinary teams of MDs, Registered/Research Nurses, and Engineers, to enhance research and modeling strategies. Required Technical Skills: *Strong interpersonal and communication skills *Familiarity with bio-signals and physiological systems *Experience in time series data analysis *Proficiency in machine learning and/or deep learning *We prefer a MATLAB user, but Python can be considered. Qualifications Bachelors degree required. Currently enrolled in Masters or PhD program. The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
