AI Summary

Develops computational and mathematical models of the human body and physiology, creates patient-specific models from medical imaging data, and designs biomechanical and multi-physics simulations to support medical imaging and digital health research.

About this role

Team Description:
Kitware is seeking a Physics-Based Modeling Research Intern to join the Computer Vision team. In this role, you'll develop computational models of biological systems that support cutting-edge research in medical imaging, biomechanics, physiology, and digital health. You'll work closely with software developers, AI researchers, clinicians, and domain scientists to create validated models that answer challenging scientific and clinical questions.
About the Projects:
Kitware’s employees have unique opportunities to interact and collaborate directly with customers, visit interesting customer sites, and participate in live field tests and demonstrations. Much of Kitware’s work involves applying state-of-the-art artificial intelligence and mechanistic modeling approaches to dynamic, real-world problems. We consider the work that we do on our government contracts as one of the ways that we give back to the community. We partner with premier government R&D agencies such as DARPA, IARPA, ARPA-H, DHA, AFRL, Army C5ISR, NOAA, and other branches of the US Government on a range of efforts, including prime contracts, SBIRs, and STTRs. In addition, we provide commercial services to companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Kitware employs an open source business model to foster extended, collaborative communities and to provide effective, flexible, and high-quality technical solutions.

In This Position You Will:

  • Develop computational and mathematical models of the human body and human physiology.

  • Create patient-specific models using medical imaging data (CT, MRI, ultrasound, microscopy, etc.).

  • Design and implement biomechanical, physiological, or multi-physics simulations.

  • Collaborate with software engineers to integrate models into research software and production applications.

  • Validate models using experimental or clinical data.

  • Work directly with clinicians, researchers, and sponsors to understand technical requirements.

  • Contribute to Kitware's open source software ecosystem.

  • Potential for publication.

    • Required Qualifications:

  • Working towards a Master’s degree or PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computational Biology, Applied Mathematics, Bioengineering, or a related field.

  • Experience developing computational or mathematical models of the human body.

  • Strong programming skills in C++ or Python (C++ preferred).

  • Experience with scientific computing and numerical methods.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

  • Ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary research teams.

  • Due to contractual requirements, only U.S. citizens will be considered for this position.

  • This is an on-site position with the expectation of 5 days/week in office.

    • Preferred Qualifications:

  • Familiarity with the Pulse Physiology Engine.

  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

  • Biomechanics.

  • Computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

  • Cardiovascular modeling.

  • Digital twins.

  • Multiscale modeling.

  • Medical image segmentation and registration.

  • AI or machine learning applied to biomedical data.

  • Grant proposal development and sponsored research.
