1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Integrated 2D Optical Phased Array for Solid-State Beam Steering
Summary of PhD Program:
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a 3D sensing technology based on laser light to measure the distance between the object and the sensor that holds great promise for allowing autonomous machines to see and navigate the world with very high precision. Typically, LiDAR designs comprise a multitude of moving parts (e.g., an assembly of lasers, optics, electronics, and detectors) on a mechanically rotating stage. The need to assemble and align all these parts leads to high costs and relatively low manufacturing volumes, while the wear and tear on the mechanical components limits long-term reliability, and all these factors have been hindering a wide adoption of this technology.
Application Deadline: 15 November 2023

Studies have shown that for bilateral CI users, bilateral severe-to-profound HA users, and bimodal users, localization accuracy and spatial release from masking can be improved. Recently, a new optimization criterion for this algorithm has been employed to provide benefits for mild-to-moderate HA users as well.

We aim to establish a deeper human-machine collaboration for all stages of the learning pipeline via multimodal labeling and learning. The goal of this project is to leverage information from different modalities that naturally occur near web images to assist the image annotation. You will develop state-of-the-art multimodal models for self-supervision with human-in-the-loop text supervision. This PhD project will be supervised by Associate Professor (DTU).

As part of the PhD you will be following advanced courses to extend your skills, implement and test algorithms, and learn to write scientific papers. In DECIDE we will develop a new framework for investment decision making under uncertainty based on a combination of machine learning and operations research. Instead of solving a complex stochastic optimization problem defined on a fixed set of forecasted scenarios, we will use an iterative process that allow us to generate a palette of near-optimal solutions. Knowing the full spectrum of possible choices enables a much broader discussion of investments, leading to a more transparent and inclusive decision process.
