Science jobs from Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH): job description

The Telecommunications and Networks Laboratory (TNL) of the Institute of Computer Science (ICS) at the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH), is seeking recent PhD graduates for a post-doctoral position in the general field of Compressed Sensing-CS. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on one or more of the following topics: CS for remote imaging in aerial and terrestrial surveillance, CS for video representation and coding, and compressed radar imaging. The successful candidate will be offered the opportunity to: • Have access to laboratory space and significant resources, and interact with researchers from other FORTH-ICS labs. • Work within a team with a strong international flavour including many researchers of non-Greek origin. • Collaborate with academic and industrial partners in Greece, France, and the US. • Work on a research subject which best fits his/her background and future goals, within the general areas described above.

Description

Eligibility: • Recent PhD graduates (less than 10 years after obtaining their BS degree). • Non-Greek nationals, who have not resided in Greece more than 12 months in the 3 years prior to the appointment. • Greek nationals who have resided and held their primary activities outside the EU and its Associated Countries for at least 3 of the last 4 years. • FORTH is an equal opportunity employer; female candidates are particularly encouraged to apply.

Benefits

FORTH is the premier research institution in Greece, housed in a new state-of-the-art building in the middle of olive groves, located in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. FORTH has a long successful history of attracting international scholars to Crete, as evidenced by the significant size of its research community with a non-Greek origin. FORTH-ICS has established itself as an internationally known and highly competitive research institute, with a modern infrastructure and a broad range of research & development (R&D) and educational activities

PhD research position: Compressive Sensing for Biomedical Signals

Sparsity decreases computations, memory usage, and data communications. It is required

by increasingly sophisticated information processing devices. The increase in biomedical

measurement techniques (EEG, fMRI, EMG, ECG, Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

(MRS), NIRS, …) for diagnosis and follow-up of human diseases, strongly requires

compression in order to keep the dataflow tractable and save battery power in wireless

applications. To extract the relevant information, the biomedical data sets should be

represented sparsely in a context-dependent basis. In general however, this basis is not

known.

The goal of this project is:

1. To identify appropriate bases or learn dictionaries to represent each of the

different biomedical signals sparsely and compute the coefficients in this

representation

2. To study how nearly-sparse signals can be accurately approximated by sparse

signals as preprocessing for compressive signals

3. To optimize compressive sensing techniques for multichannel applications

Ideal candidates should have:

• Strong background in applied mathematics (relevant specialties are: sampling

theory, linear algebra, information theory, signal processing, statistics)

• Good programming skills: Matlab

• Knowledge about biomedical applications is an advantage (but not necessary)

How to apply?

If you want to develop such compression tool to represent biomedical signals efficiently

and reduce the data storage tremendously and if you like to work in a multicultural and

multidisciplinary environment, then please send a CV and a cover letter to Professor

Sabine Van Huffel (sabine.vanhuffel@esat.kuleuven.be) and Research Manager Steven

Vandeput (steven.vandeput@esat.kuleuven.be). Also include the names of two former or

current supervisors that can be contacted as references.

Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Carnegie Institution of Washington, Machaut is the name of a crater, approximately 100 kilometer (60 mile) in diameter, first seen under high-sun conditions by Mariner 10 in the 1970s. The crater is named for the medieval French poet and composer Guillaume de Machaut. This NAC image shows an amazing new view of Machaut taken during MESSENGER’s second flyby of Mercury on Oct. 6, 2008. The slanting rays of the Sun cast shadows that reveal numerous small craters and intricate features. The largest crater within Machaut appears to have been inundated by lava flows similar to those that have filled most of the floor of the larger feature. The adjacent, slightly smaller crater was formed at a later time and excavated material below the lava-formed surface. MESSENGER science team members will also be studying the shallow ridges that crisscross Machaut’s floor.
