Dear list,

We would like to announce that the call for admission to the next PhD
programme in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the
University of Udine is now open, and that this year it is possible to
compete for a  thematic grant with a research program entitled

"Diagnosis of dysphonia and laryngeal pathologies using advanced
numerical models of phonation and AI techniques".

In brief, the research program has as its objective the study of
numerical models of the phonatory system,
and in particular of the vocal cords, for the design of medical devices
aimed at the diagnosis,
treatment and rehabilitation of laryngeal pathologies and vocal cord
dysfunctions.
The study aims to address the development of new integrated solutions by
resorting to knowledge
in the field of digital imaging diagnostics and acoustic analysis of the
voice using numerical models
of phonation organs. As part of the study of investigation methods,
Artificial Intelligence will be
integrated with vocal folds models and analysis algorithms in order to
improve the adaptation of
models to clinical observations and to produce diagnoses based on
analysis results and
interpretation of the data that the models can in turn provide.
 From a methodological point of view, the project will benefit from
access to Big Medical Data databases and repositories and from the
possibility of exploiting the computing resources of the Cloud High
Performance Computing (HPC)
Data Center for the development of complex numerical models public and
private, mainly regional.
The project will also analyze the possibilities of integrating such a
diagnostic system within regional
healthcare and research structures.


The call for applications can be found at the following address (please
refer to "Table 2" on p.18 of the document "PhD call for applications"):

2025-40th-cycle

Moreover, applicants can also apply to the call with a research proposal
concerning other topics of potential interest, including Acoustic scene
analysis and Machine listening or Autonomous systems based on acoustic
sensing. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further information.

Best regards,
Carlo Drioli
