Overview

PhD candidate position in the Design Methods of Low-Power Computer Vision Using Deep Learning

Open application for a doctoral candidate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering
The doctoral candidate position is available in the Electronics, Department of Electronic Systems faculty.

Research topic description
To enable IoT systems to see and understand the environment, edge-based machine vision would come as a solution. Edge computing allows for data processing and analysis to be performed closer to the source of data, reducing the time it takes for data to be transmitted to a remote server. This can be particularly beneficial in applications where low latency is crucial, such as real-time monitoring and control. Edge computing also allows for reduced bandwidth, improved security, increased scalability and reliability, and reduced cost of IoT systems. However, several challenges need to be overcome to perform computer vision on the edge for IoT applications: limited computational resources, power constraints, and limited storage. Specific design methods are required for low-power computer vision, which is based on deep learning algorithms.

The selected candidate will work on the PhD thesis under the supervision of prof. dr. Dalius Matuzevičius. The successful applicant will have to attend scientific conferences, meetings, and internships at other universities.

Requirements
• Required background: math, statistics, engineering
• Expected skills and knowledge: computer vision, machine learning, linear algebra, python programming, deep learning frameworks

It is a prerequisite for being present at and accessible to the institution daily.

For more information
Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview. The position may not be opened if no qualified candidate is found. Additional information regarding the post may be obtained from prof. dr. Dalius Matuzevičius, e-mail: dalius.matuzevicius@vilniustech.lt

Programme structure

The PhD programme consists of:
· Independent research under supervision;
· Courses for PhD students (approximately 30 ECTS credits);
· Participation in research networks, including placements at other, primarily foreign, research institutions;
· Teaching or another form of knowledge dissemination, which is related to the PhD topic when possible;
· The completion of a PhD thesis.
