<div dir="ltr"><div>Topic: "Deep Learning-based Digital Twin of Manufacturing Systems"<br></div><div><div><div><p>The
PhD fellowship is centered around the exploration and development of
digital twins in manufacturing systems, virtual models that mirror
physical systems for real-time analysis, monitoring, and optimization.
These digital twins are instrumental in modern smart industries, aiding
in production planning and control by merging past, present, and future
data for intelligent decision-making. Specific applications include
real-time monitoring and production control, yet their creation and
maintenance present challenges such as data
consistency and timely input.</p><p>This research project aims to
tackle these challenges by incorporating computer vision to facilitate
Automated Digital Twins Generation. Using cameras and sensors, the work
will focus on capturing physical asset data, addressing complex issues
such as 2D object recognition, 3D volume estimation, and multiple view
integration. The outcome is an application for camera-based digital twin
production systems involving human operators. By employing deep
learning models and providing a flexible, real-time approach, this work
seeks to reduce the time and cost of constructing digital twins
while adapting to various manufacturing scenarios.</p></div></div></div><div>The position is for a 3 year PhD program.</div><div>The student will spend 1 year at U. of Lisbon under the supervision of <a href="https://ncgarcia.github.io/" target="_blank">Nuno Garcia</a>, and 2 years at U. of Grenoble Alpes under the supervision of <a href="https://g-scop.grenoble-inp.fr/fr/laboratoire/david-pierre" target="_blank">Pierre David</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>The application notice will be published soon.</div><div>The estimated starting date is Nov. 1, 2023. <br></div><div>The contract and salary will be according to the French legislation.<br></div><div><br></div><div><div>Candidates should hold a MSc degree in computer science or related areas.</div><div>Desirable qualifications include knowledge in deep learning and computer vision and a strong research passion.</div></div><div><br></div><div>You are kindly invited to contact <span>Pierre</span> David (<span><span><a href="mailto:pierre.david@grenoble-inp.fr" target="_blank"><span>pierre</span>.david@grenoble-inp.fr</a>)</span></span> and Nuno C Garcia (<a href="mailto:ncgarcia@fc.ul.pt" target="_blank">ncgarcia@fc.ul.pt</a>) if you are interested.</div><br><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Nuno Cruz Garcia</div>Assistant Professor<br><div>Informatics Department<br>Faculty of Sciences, Univ. of Lisbon<br>
