C2AIS faculty also recruit world-class trainees from these graduate programs, including:
- PhD in Imaging Science
- Master of Science in Imaging Science
- PhD in Biomedical Engineering
- PhD in Neuroengineering
- PhD in Neurosciences (DBBS)
- PhD in Biomedical Informatics & Data Sciences (DBBS)
Research Training and Mentorship
Research training is central to the C2AIS mission. Our community connects students and postdocs with faculty working across imaging physics, computational reconstruction, AI-based analysis and clinical translation. We emphasize rigorous scientific reasoning, interdisciplinary collaboration and the ability to connect fundamental methods with meaningful scientific and clinical questions.
Beyond top-quality graduate programs, we offer early-career opportunities in AI-enabled imaging science for high school, undergraduate and postbaccalaureate trainees:
- Summer Focus Program (High school)
- Washington University Women’s Health Engineering Summer Research Program (Undergraduate)
- Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology Summer Research Program (Undergraduate)
- WashU’s Summer Undergraduate Research Guided Experience (SURGE) program (Undergraduate)
- NeuroPrep (Postbaccalaureate)
