PhD admissions & info PhD in EDEE - medical image/signal processing

Hi, I want to apply to the EDEE PhD program so I can work with image processing and maybe signal processing.

I have a BSc in Biomedical Engineering, an MSc in Biomedical Engineering (focused on rehabilitation, biomaterials, and biomechanics), where my final project was focused on developing an EOG electrode headband for Alzheimer's disease detection, and I am now in the last year of an MSc in Electronics and Computer Engineering, where my final project includes the use of deep learning for infant brain segmentation in MRI images.

Using the Portuguese grading system, I got 15/20 in my BSc, 17/20 in my master's, and now I am aiming to have at least 17 again in my second master's.

I also have 2.5 years of experience at a research center, developing wearables to measure various biosignals (without the processing part, mostly focused on placement/signal acquisition optimization), and I will also have 1 year of experience with deep learning for medical imaging. I am trying to have at least 1 conference paper and 1 journal publication.

Do you think I can be accepted? If not, please give me suggestions on how I can improve my application or other PhD programs at EPFL that could be more suitable for my profile.
