PhD position on computational X-ray imaging of advanced materials

Position nr.: 
XCELERATE
Department: 
Dept. of Physics (Vision Lab)
Date posted: 
Monday, 6 October, 2025
Position status: 
Full Time Salaried
Project title: 

Model-based reconstruction methods for region of interest 4DCT of smart materials

Description: 

The MSCA Doctoral Network X-CELERATE is looking for a Doctoral Candidates (DCs) to become the next generation of research engineers. Combining technical excellence with an entrepreneurial mindset, they will help drive innovation and boost Europe’s manufacturing industry.

Info on the different projects can be found here.

Tasks: 

You will develop an efficient, iterative 4DCT reconstruction scheme for studying dynamic materials that combines image reconstruction and motion estimation in a single update step, based on the analytical gradients of the motion towards both the reconstruction and the affine motion parameters. Next, the iterative 4DCT reconstruction scheme will be unrolled so as to combine the benefits from physics-based modelling and advanced data driven priors using dynamic recurrent inference machines. The focus of the PhD will be on lowering the dose and the required number of projections for 4D data reconstruction.

Qualifications: 

• You fulfil the general MSCA eligibility criteria and X-CELERATE requirements (here).
• You have a master’s degree in physics, computer science, mathematics, engineering, or related field (if you have not obtained your diploma yet, but expect to do so in the near future, please apply already).
• You have a strong background in scientific computing. Knowledge of computed tomography is appreciated.
• You are proficient in at least one programming language
