A Brief Overview Researchers in the Jolley Lab focus on the visualization, quantification, and computational modeling of congenitally abnormal heart structures using multi-modality 3D imaging. Children with congenital heart disease have a broad range of anatomy, and there are few readily available (commercial) tools to facilitate image-based structural phenotyping and patient specific planning of interventions. As such, the Jolley Lab develops and applies custom tools built upon open-source platforms to help answer critical questions in this unique population. The group leverages medical image processing, machine learning, finite element analysis, computer-aided design, virtual reality, and 3D printing to achieve these goals. The lab collaborates with surgeons, cardiac imagers, interventional cardiologists, computer scientists, and engineers with the long-term goal of delivering personalized structural modeling to inform optimal interventions in individual patients.
A Research Associate Engineer in the Jolley Lab will be an essential part of this effort. This position offers the opportunity to use computational engineering methods to advance knowledge in the fields of pediatric cardiology and pediatric cardiac surgery.
