Title:
PhD position in Machine Learning and Physical Simulation
Research area and project description:
Over the last decades, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) methods have successfully entered science and engineering workflows to match the growing demands for fast and accurate physical models. Fueled by these demands, the ERC Starting Grant project ALPS – AI-based Learning for Physical Simulation proposes an original approach combining ML methods, such as neural networks, genetic algorithms and reinforcement learning, and discrete mathematical theories, such as graph theory, discrete exterior calculus, and discrete differential geometry, for the development of new algorithms that can automatically discover models of physical systems from experimental data. To tackle the associated computational cost, the algorithms will be implemented in a new open-source software library exploiting state-of-the-art high-performance computing techniques.
The methods proposed in this project will be applied to address scientific challenges in human health, sustainable energy science and technology, and soft robotics. In particular, we envision the use of our algorithms to derive effective reduced-order models for model-based control in soft robotics and to tackle design, optimization, and control problems in engineering for sustainable energy technology, in collaboration with industries.
The successful candidate will mainly work on: 1) the definition of a computational framework that uses ML methods to learn mathematical models of physical systems; 2) the implementation of high-performance algorithms and their application within the context of the aforementioned scientific challenges.
