One Research Scholarship for a bachelor is opened within the scope of the R&D Unit “Center for Mathematics and Applications” (CMA) (UI/297/2020), financed by “Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P.”/MCTES (FCT, I.P.) (ref. UIDB/00297/2020) through national funds (PIDDAC) (OE).

Candidates holding a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics or related areas within the scope of the research carried out at CMA and regularly enrolled in the academic year 2021/22, in the 2nd cycle of an integrated MSc course or in a MSc course of the NOVA School of Science and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon (FCT NOVA), may apply to this competition. 

Scientific Area: Mathematics (Statistics)

Work Plan: Deriving a lung ultrasound COVID-19 index optimizing its relationship with the proxy variable for disease severity defined by the hospital length of stay, the intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay or the survival time depending on the considered patient outcome. In addition, the potential of this new indicator should be evaluated as a predictor of death, ICU admission, and endotracheal intubation in COVID-19 patients using Machine Learning models and compared to the classic Lung Ultrasound Score.

Application deadline: Applications must be submitted between the period from 5th to the 18 of May 2022.
