BSc and MSc projects at ITU

At PURRlab we are doing meta-research on the use of machine learning, often in medical image analysis. To learn more about the research directions, check out our publications. You can find highlighted example of previous student projects on the projects page. You can also find more examples on our github https://github.com/purrlab

More information about what it’s like to join the lab, and general resources for students are available in our Lab guide on Notion.
