[I-RIM ML] [Jobs] Professor in perceptual AI for autonomous mobility at KU Leuven (95% - temporary for 5 years)

[Renaud Detry]

Professor in perceptual AI for autonomous mobility (95% - temporary for 5
years)

In the Science, Engineering and Technology Group of KU Leuven, Faculty of
Engineering Science, Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT), Campus
Arenberg, there is a part-time (95%) academic vacancy for a professor for a
period of 5 years (extendible) in the area of perceptual AI for autonomous
mobility. This area is interpreted broadly, covering autonomous cars and
other vehicles, autonomously flying UAV’s, self-navigating ships, etc. We
are looking for a candidate with demonstrable expertise in the field of
perception platforms for autonomous mobility, with a focus on computer
vision and AI-based solutions. This broad area includes foundations,
techniques and supporting tools to create and improve software and systems
that deliver high-quality properties in terms of security and reliability.
Candidates must show a track record with excellent research results and
practical implementations on topics within this domain, including but not
limited to:

- The fast detection of objects and their semantic identification in an
environment.

- The visual tracking of objects in the 3D environment of the platform.

- The definition of free versus avoidable regions for mobility. For the
case of vehicles this includes the detection of lane markings.

- The estimation of distances based on one or multiple sensors.

- Guaranteeing continuity through the integration of information from
multiple sensors through time (“sensor fusion”).

- Combining multiple subtasks through compact and powerful multi-task
learning architectures and other software pipelines.

Candidates are expected to develop an applied research programme that
integrates well with the current research activities of the research group
and the Department, as well as a valorisation strategy that can leverage on
the track record and best practices of the group. Candidates also have to
contribute to academic education at bachelor and master level and must also
be prepared to provide scientific services both within and outside the
university.

KU Leuven is committed to creating a diverse environment and is therefore
an equal opportunity employer. It explicitly encourages candidates from
groups that currently are underrepresented at the university to submit
their applications.
