USAISR Biomedical Research Faculty Fellowship

What will I be doing?

As an Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) participant, you will join a community of scientists, engineers, and researchers to develop medical automation research solutions. Your work will involve biomedical projects related to automating combat casualty care, such as automating ultrasound image interpretation, testing automated medical systems through animal and human studies, and developing custom human tissue phantoms for laboratory research.

Under the guidance of a mentor, you will gain hands‑on experience that supports your academic and professional goals. You will engage in activities and research in several areas including:

• Conducting human and animal translational research studies
• Curating and annotating large medical datasets for machine‑learning algorithms
• Developing medical tissue phantoms for ultrasound imaging tasks
• Analyzing large datasets for medical trends to inform automation technology
• Preparing manuscripts for peer‑reviewed research journals
