This #WorldCancerDay, we recognise the power of engineering and biomedical innovation in transforming cancer treatment and organ transplantation. At the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, University of Oxford, with OrganOx, work on Normothermic Machine Perfusion (NMP) is helping to revolutionise organ transplantation by improving organ preservation, assessment, and repair before transplantation. NMP mimics the body’s natural conditions by maintaining organs at normal body temperature with oxygenated blood, nutrients, and medication. This cutting-edge technique not only enhances transplant success rates but also opens new possibilities for treating cancer-affected organs. Through collaboration between engineering and medicine, we are working towards a future where technology accelerates the development of life-saving therapies.

Project Engineer Standard Grade 6: £34,982 – £40,855 per annum Oxford Thermofluids Institute is seeking a Project Engineer to design, build, and perform experimental testing of novel aerospace materials and geometries.   This role involves significant computer-based design and simulation, as such the successful candidate will be familiar in the use of CAD programs (i.e. SOLIDWORKS/AutoCAD) towards the design of experimental systems alongside analytical software tools (i.e. ANSYS programs) used to analyze these same systems. This role also involves experimental work, and the successful candidate will have experience in an experimental environment.   The successful candidate will be the holder of a relevant Masters’s degree in Engineering with a focus on the core of the thermofluids field: fluid flow and heat transfer. At the university of Oxford your happiness and wellbeing at work is important to us. We have a number of generous benefits including 38 days' annual leave (inclusive of bank holidays and fixed closure days), generous pension schemes and free access to the Oxford colleges. How to apply Applications for this vacancy are to be made online via our e-recruitment system and should include the covering letter/supporting statement (describing how you meet the criteria), a CV, and names of two academic references. The position is a full-time fixed term post available for 6 months. The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Monday 17 February 2025.

Who are we? The Hub in All-Spectrum Connectivity (HASC) is focused on researching how to optimally combine wired and wireless Internet technologies to achieve end-to-end connectivity. This includes developing models to compare the capabilities of different wired and wireless techniques, investigating efficient interfaces and physical architectures, and analysing new fibres and their capabilities. Our partnership brings together researchers from the Universities of Queen's University Belfast, University of Bristol, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford (lead partner), University of Southampton, Imperial College London College and UCL. The Hubs form part of the UK Future #Wireless Infrastructure Strategy working closely with two others: TITAN Telecoms Hub, focusing on networks of networks (NoN), and Communications Hub for Empowering Distributed clouD computing Applications and Research (CHEDDAR), focusing on cloud and edge computing. The Hub is supported by substantial investment from the @Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation, and the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology . Follow us to learn more about the research we are doing and how this can impact industry and society. #telcoms #telcos #connectivity #wireless #research

What an exciting day here at University of Oxford #Engineering #Science? We've had the pleasure of filming with the crew from RAW Pictures and demonstrating some of the latest research headed by James Farmer and Professor Dominic O'Brien, #HASC lead. We know you probably can't wait to see what we've been creating, so here is a little teaser before the full video is ready in all it's high-tech glory! Thanks to RAW for an excellent full weeks' worth of filming at many locations across the UK as part of the HASC research hub project. Watch this space for more updates including more about the #research!

🌍🎓 On this International Day of Education, we invite you to hear insights from three of our Engineering Science postgraduates as they discuss their experiences at Oxford. They share what they value most about their time here, from innovative research opportunities to a supportive academic community. Stay tuned for more in-depth stories about their journeys and achievements in the coming weeks. #InternationalDayOfEducation #EducationDay #EngineeringScience #OxfordUniversity

Thank you to the #ClinicalAI team and Alan Turing Institute #ATI for inviting me to share my research and thoughts at this exciting #ClinicalAI and #AI for #Women #Health event. In this talk, we discussed the methodology advancements in AI for health monitoring, the #ecosystem and #stakeholders in mobile health monitoring, including sensor selections and sensor informatics, clinical decision-making, hospital management, AI governance, regulations and certification, as well as the foundational human health research. For the AI for women's health challenges, we must also consider gender and social and cultural differences. In the meantime, we should keep data continuum and AI regulations in mind, from the very beginning of the innovation pipeline, to enable us to build #Scalable, #Secure, and #Smart AI for health products that can generate REAL social good impacts. Continued and federated learning needs to happen in #MLOps #LLMOps #GAIOPs, and supported by the #DataOPs to enable an end-to-end control loop (either open, closed, or fused) for a safe and transparent(explainable) AI-assisted decision-making. It is interesting to know how many AI research would take international data standards, such as #FHIR #HL7, into consideration while designing the AI algorithm/function/product. One question I had in my mind during this talk was, "What would the UK government's new strategy on AI bring to the UK national health services and the industry?"(Read it here: https://lnkd.in/d-AEguYu) Slides will be available on my Oxford institutional webpage, and the video recording will be released on the #ATI #ClincialAI interest group YouTube channel.
