The Centre for Wireless Innovation, School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at Queen’s University Belfast, is seeking an exceptional Research Fellow to carry out the development and implementation of machine learning and deep learning-based physical models for microwave and millimetre-wave imaging applications within the “Developing Solutions to Acute Threats: Compressive Imaging for Real-Time Security Screening” project; funded by a Leverhulme Trust Research Leadership Award.
This research at QUB will focus on developing machine learning and deep learning methods for compressive microwave and millimetre-wave imaging systems and technology. Particularly, we will be developing solutions to address processing-layer challenges, such as super-resolution, classification, automated threat detection (ATD) and learning-based approaches to solve inverse-problems. This research will also develop the next-generation millimetre-wave imaging infrastructure with real-time radar imaging capabilities. Successful implementation of this technology will transform the state of the art in millimetre-wave imaging.
This is a unique opportunity to build the next generation electromagnetic vision systems and work at one of the leading institutions in the United Kingdom in microwave & millimetre-wave technology, Centre for Wireless Innovation – Queen’s University Belfast, collaborating with an international team of academics and industry partners.
