PhD in Credible hybrid AI-mechanistic models for clinical decision-making: unveiling the untapped potential of sensitivity analysis methods

Introduction

• Are you eager to apply mathematics to improve medical decision support?
• Are you passionate about joining a multidisciplinary team working to revolutionise personalized medicine?
• Are you excited to develop trustworthy, explainable, hybrid physics-AI models for cardiovascular biomechanics?

Job Description
At the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), we offer a fully funded 4-year PhD position within the project HY-Credibility - Credible hybrid AI–mechanistic models for clinical decision-making: unveiling the untapped potential of sensitivity analysis methods. You will be embedded in the Cardiovascular Biomechanics group led by Prof. Huberts and co-supervised by dr. Jemima Tabeart of the Computational Science group, Centre for Analysis, Scientific Computing and Applications (Department of Mathematics & Computer Science).

Your challenge: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving therapy, but deciding when and how to safely wean patients from cardio-respiratory support remains a major clinical challenge. In this project, you will develop credible hybrid digital twins that combine first-principles cardiovascular pathophysiology with data-driven AI. A key innovation is the use of sensitivity analysis (SA) and uncertainty quantification (UQ) to make these models transparent, testable, and trustworthy for clinical decision-making. You will help answer: how can we provide uncertainty-aware, explainable advice for safe ECMO weaning?

Your role: You will design and develop hybrid models that combine fast physiological signals with slower patient-specific dynamics, and build an SA/UQ toolbox for high-dimensional hybrid systems. You will work with unique datasets generated from an advanced ECMO mock loop, perform simulation and data assimilation studies, and evaluate model credibility, robustness, and generalizability. Your work will be closely connected to clinical practice and includes collaboration with clinicians and interdisciplinary experts. You will publish your results, contribute to open datasets and tools, and help supervise BSc/MSc students.

Your impact: This project contributes directly to safer, more personalized care for critically ill patients. By enabling uncertainty-aware and explainable decision support for ECMO weaning, your work will reduce trial-and-error decisions and improve patient outcomes. More broadly, you will help establish trustworthy hybrid AI methodologies for safety-critical applications in healthcare and beyond.

Your environment: You will work in an interdisciplinary and supportive team at the interface of biomedical engineering, applied mathematics, and AI. TU/e offers a collaborative and inclusive research culture, with strong links to clinical partners and leading expertise in computational modelling, digital twins, and uncertainty quantification.

Job Requirements
We are looking for a candidate who meets the following requirements:

• You are creative and ambitious, with a proactive, persistent, and results-driven mindset.
• You have a strong background in mathematics, developed during your MSc in Applied Mathematics, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• You are comfortable with in-depth mathematical reasoning.
• You have a research-oriented attitude and enjoy tackling complex, open-ended problems.
• You communicate clearly and effectively, and contribute positively to a collaborative research environment.
• You are able to work in interdisciplinary teams and are interested in collaborating with clinical and/or industrial partners.
• You are motivated to develop your teaching skills and to supervise and coach students.
• You have a good command of English, both written and spoken (minimum level C1).

It would also be beneficial for candidates to have

• Theoretical and/or applied knowledge of biomechanical modelling (in silico and/or in vitro)
• Prior experience with AI or hybrid modelling approaches.

Conditions of Employment
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:

• Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate assessment after nine months. You will spend a minimum of 10% of your four-year employment on teaching tasks, with a maximum of 15% per year of your employment.
• Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. € 3,059 - max. € 3,881). This salary is in accordance with the MSCA Call 2024 regulations for Doctoral Researchers and will be paid from the relevant monthly gross allowances (gross living allowance € 4.010 per month; mobility allowance € 710 per month; family allowance € 660 per month, only if applicable).
• A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
• High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process.
• An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
• Unlimited access to the modern on‑campus TU/e Student Sports Center at an exceptionally affordable rate.
• An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
• A Staff Immigration Team and a tax compensation scheme (the 30% facility) for international candidates.
