Imec-IPI is looking for a qualified and motivated PhD student to work on sensor fusion for object detection and scene analysis.
As a PhD student with IPI, you will be located at the TELIN offices at Campus UFO in Ghent. You will be offered an initial contract of 12 months, to be extended up a period of 4 years in total with the aim of obtaining a PhD. The research will be partly fundamental (furthering the state of the art) and partly applied. You will collaborate with international industrial partners while embedded in a university research team that is internationally recognized for its extensive expertise regarding sensor fusion for autonomous driving, traffic monitoring and industrial safety.
The Image Processing and Interpretation (IPI) group at Ghent University-imec consists of +/- 40 experienced researchers, post-docs and professors. IPI conducts research in a wide array of both fundamental and applied image processing topics. Application domains of this research include intelligent & autonomous vehicles, surveillance and sensor networks, remote sensing, medical image analysis, video analysis and scene reconstruction.
Imec-IPI is looking for a qualified and motivated senior researcher to work on sensor fusion and active vision.
As a (post-doctoral) researcher with IPI, you will be located at the TELIN offices at Campus UFO in Ghent. You will be offered a contract of indefinite duration at imec, after an initial trial period. The research will focus on developing new fundamental concepts for sensor fusion and active sensing and demonstrating in industrially relevant applications (TRL6). You will collaborate with international industrial partners while embedded in a university research team that is internationally recognized for its extensive expertise regarding sensor fusion for autonomous driving, traffic monitoring and industrial safety. The longer-term perspectives include growing into a role of research supervisor, helping to attract new projects, or remaining active in technical research.

Our research group Image Processing and Interpretation needs new PhD students every year to continue existing research and start new research. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact Prof. Wilfried Philips for further information.
Research topics Part of the research in our research group is financed by collaborative projects with companies and other research groups. Many of the possible doctoral subjects are therefore related to one of these projects.
On the other hand, researchers can also be funded by personal scholarships (funded by FWO, IWT or UGent), which are awarded on the basis of research proposals that do not necessarily tie in with existing projects.
At the moment we are conducting research in IPI in the following application areas:
Autonomous vehicles UAVs/Drones Remote sensing (hyperspectral imaging) Agriculture and industrial inspection Improvement of multimedia consumer products Energy-efficient computing Medical applications (MRI, CT, dermatology), biological applications (e.

Onze onderzoeksgroep Image Processing and Interpretation heeft elk jaar behoefte aan nieuwe doctoraatstudenten om bestaand onderzoek verder te zetten en nieuw onderzoek op te starten. Indien je interesse hebt, aarzel dan niet contact op te nemen met Prof. Wilfried Philips voor verdere informatie.
Onderzoeksonderwerpen Een deel van het onderzoek in onze onderzoeksgroep wordt gefinancierd door projecten in samenwerking met bedrijven en andere onderzoeksgroepen. Veel van de mogelijke doctoraatsonderwerpen sluiten dan ook aan bij een van deze projecten.
Anderzijds kunnen onderzoekers ook gefinancierd worden door persoonsgebonden bursalen (gefinancierd door FWO, IWT of UGent), die toegekend worden op basis van onderzoeksvoorstellen die niet noodzakelijk hoeven aan te sluiten bij bestaande projecten.
Momenteel verrichten we in IPI o.a. onderzoek over de volgende toepassingen:
Autonome voertuigen UAVs/Drones Remote sensing (hyperspectral beeldvorming) Landbouw en industriële inspectie Beeldverbetering van multimediale consumentenproducten Energiezuinig computing Medische toepassingen (MRI, CT, dermatologie), biologische toepassingen (bv. plantengroei, microscopie) In onze onderzoeksgroep is er zowel ruimte voor eerder fundamenteel theoretisch onderzoek, waarbij de nadruk vooral op nieuwe technieken ligt als voor toepassingsgericht onderzoek, waar de nadruk vooral op de resultaten en praktische toepasbaarheid ligt.
