PostDoc In Geometric Learning & Differential Geometry

Short introduction

We are looking for a Post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science of the Eindhoven University of Technology in the field of “Geometric Learning for Image Analysis”.The two year postdoc position is part of VICI Project (VI.C. 202-031, PI: R.Duits) and will preferably start around 01-12-2025 and requires knowledge of geometric image processing and machine learning.

Job Description

As Post-doctoral Researcher within VICI Project "Geometric Learning for Image Analysis" your main tasks are:

• Carry out research in the research group Geometric Learning and Differential Geometry within the Centre for Analysis, Scientific Computing and Applications (CASA) of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at TUe, supervised by principal investigator Remco Duits,
• Publish research results in renowned journals and conferences, focusing on:
    A) Equivariant, PDE-based image processing and machine learning for industrial image analysis (in thesemiconductor industry),
    B) Automatic geometric vessel tree tracking and analysis in medical image analysis applications,
• Assist in the supervision of PhD and MSc students and collaborate with (health) tech partners,
• Report on the results in project deliverables, papers and conference contributions.

As the VICI-project had a successful mid-term report tackling the milestones with much output there is freedom for creative new adjacent research directions. This position is primarily a research position, though teaching experience can be obtained on a voluntary basis.

Job Requirements
