An M.Sc. by Research position is available within the Department of Communications and Computer Engineering of the Faculty of ICT, and is funded by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
The selected candidate will be developing novel image processing algorithms to detect damages inside the 27 km long Large Hadron Collider which lies at a depth of 100 metres underground. The image capturing devices will be mounted along the train inspection monorail in the tunnel and the system must be able to detect damages with sub-centimeter resolution. This is a unique opportunity to participate in an enriching experience with access to top-notch resources.

The candidate will preferably have a background in Electrical / Computer Engineering and will work with images taken from several sensors (reflex cameras, stereo cameras, laser scanners etc). Prior knowledge with Microsoft/Linux programming environments, GPU parallel programming, and with the most frequently used frameworks for image processing (OpenCV, OpenCL, PCL etc) will be considered an asset. The selected candidate is expected to spend 6 months at CERN.
