FTE 1,0
Date off 28/04/2024
Reference number V36.7342
The PhD candidate will work within an international research project SINTRA in cooperation with industrial partners from Netherlands, Finland, Belgium and Turkey. The general goal of the project is to enable safety and security of critical infrastructure (harbours, airports, power plants) by multi-modal sensing and AI data analysis. The PhD candidate will perform research with potential deployment of results in industrial products of Bosch, ViNotion and Sorama.
The goal of the PhD candidate is to research and develop AI models that can accurately detect the following threats and suspicious events at harbours and airports: drug-, human- trafficking, large scale burglary and infrastructure attacks. For detection of such complex threats, multi-modal sensor types will be installed at Port of Moerdijk: visual, acoustic, thermal, multi-spectral, etc. The research goal is to learn how to combine this data in AI models to extract the criminal traces and anomalies from the data streams, combine the data and provide reliable detections.
For this project, a candidate with MSc degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering will be selected and hired as a doctoral student in the Signal Processing Systems/VCA group for a 4-year period. The candidate should have strong background knowledge in image processing domain and excellent programming skills. More specifically, the candidates should have experience in object detection, segmentation and classification. Experience with anomaly detection on large set of data, Transformers, CNNs, CLIP is highly desired. Knowledge of deep learning algorithms is a prerequisite. Candidates should be excellent in academic writing, should have good communication skills and should be able to cooperate in a multidisciplinary team.
