Denmark: PhD position – Computational Science in Imaging

We develop and implement the enabling mathematical technology for
next-generation imaging problems arising in important areas such as biometrics,
crystallography, geophysics, and surveillance. In these and other similarly
challenging problems of today, mathematics technology goes hand in hand with
hardware and software technology.  We will revisit the original
problem
formulations and derive novel and highly-efficient methods for their
solution, using the most recent developments in mathematics and numerical
analysis.  This will enable us to compute significantly more accurate solutions
than the ones currently available, at a dramatically reduced cost.

The PhD project

The PhD project aims specifically at developing modern and efficient
algorithms for imaging using recent advances in interior-point algorithms
combined with iterative methods for solving structured sets of Newton
equations.

The project is financed by the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and
Innovation (FTP) under the research project "CSI: Computational Science in
Imaging".  The PhD project is a joint collaboration between DTU, Aalborg
University, and MOSEK ApS, and the PhD student will be employed fully by
DTU.

For more information about the project, see: www.imm.dtu.dk/~pch/CSI.html

Supervisors:

Professor Per Christian Hansen and Associate Professor Marielba Rojas,
Informatics and Mathematical Modelling, DTU.

Qualifications

The PhD student is expected to have a Master’s degree in numerical analysis
or scientific computing, or equivalently, and must have experience with
scientific programming, numerical optimization, and matrix computations.  We
also require that the PhD student is fluent in both oral and written
English.

Terms of employment

The stipend for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the
candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU.
Information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general
planning of the position studies is included in the general rules of DTU; see:
www.dtu.dk/English/education/Phd_Education.aspx

The place of employment is Informatics and Mathematical Modelling. The terms
of employment will be in accordance with those of scientific staff at Danish
universities.  The PhD stipend has a fixed duration of 3 years.
