Postdoctoral Researcher Scientific Computing and Algorithms for Inverse Problems

University of Antwerp

Antwerp, Belgium

Job Description:

The research group Applied Mathematics and the research group Vision Lab at the University of Antwerp have an open position for a postdoctoral researcher for a joint project on high performancealgorithms for inverse reconstruction, in particular for Talbot Lau grating interferometry based phase contrast tomography.

These algorithms have a wide range of applications in medicine (CT-scans), industry (nondestructive testing) and science (3D imaging of nanomaterials).

She/he will develop high performance Krylov methods for phase contrast x-ray imaging that will run on large scale parallel machines and accelerator hardware. Furthermore, the mathematical modeling of phase contrast imaging process will be refined. The algorithms will be designed to reduce communication and synchronization overhead and the Astra toolbox with a advanced numerical solvers.

Profile and requirements:

• Applicants are expected to hold a PhD in computer science, physics, mathematics or engineering;
• Should have a proven track record in the development of advanced numerical methods for large scale problems.
