Position description

The Sue & Bill Gross School of Nursing seeks a Postdoctoral researcher in Cardiovascular Signal Anonymization to join the Rahmani lab.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of California, Irvine, undertake a research project titled Safeguarding Privacy of Cardiovascular Waveforms through Reinforcement Learning-Guided Generative Models. Key research tasks include (i) data utility-aware cardiovascular bio-signal de-identification using reinforcement learning (RL) guided generative models and (ii) developing a comprehensive evaluation framework for analyzing utility and anonymity to update the generative models accordingly. Successful candidates will join the vibrant and interdisciplinary HealthSciTech group at UCI, which bridges AI/ML, health informatics, software engineering, systems design, and nursing, along with collaborative research support from Institute for Future Health (IFH) at UCI.

The successful Postdoctoral candidate will be responsible for:
● Designing and validating generative AI models for bio-signal de-identification, and reinforcement learning models for latent space pruning to guide the generative de-identification models
● Collaborating with clinical consultants to evaluate and update the de-identification generative models
● Mentoring graduate/PhD students involved in the project
● Dissemination of results through scientific publications in leading conference journals

School :

PhD degree in Computer Science, Information Sciences, Computers and Information Systems (Engineering), Robotics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field

Knowledge of reinforcement learning and generative AI models; experience with AI-driven healthcare applications, affective computing, cognitive modeling; robust and efficient systems design

Strong research background, excellent publication record, experience in mentoring under/graduate students and working on inter-disciplinary collaborative projects, motivation and commitment to high-quality research
