PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in Mathematical Modelling of Microbial Evolution
Many current challenges are related to the evolution of species: the spread of pandemics, extinction of species through climate change, and the rise of antibiotic resistance affecting treatment outcomes. Therefore, predicting evolutionary dynamics is highly relevant. Current approaches, such as fitness landscapes, often focus on a single organism, but the environment and communities that micro-organisms live in are highly relevant. As an example we can take antibiotic resistance evolution, which can emerge through the evolution of enzymes that degrade antibiotics. Those enzymes clear the environment of antibiotics and therefore alter the selection on its own population and that of cohabiting populations.
The group of dr. Meike Wortel focusses on developing mathematical and computational techniques to include the environment, including other species, in the analysis of evolutionary trajectories and apply this to antibiotic resistance evolution and the evolution of microbial communities. To achieve this, the group combines evolutionary approaches with systems biology, that links the intricate networks that make up cells to their overserved behavior at the cell level.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate on Reinforcement Learning for Controlling Critical Infrastructure
How can AI contribute to safe and efficient operation of critical infrastructure? Infrastructure such as railways, the electric grid, and air traffic control faces increasing usage, making the networks harder to operate. In this project, you will investigate how machine learning methods can be used in such situations, possibly together with a human operator.
Recent success in applying deep reinforcement learning methods to e.g. Atari games or the boardgames of Go suggest that this technology is able to find complex strategy by learning from data obtained through trial and error. When applying such methods to critical infrastructure, new questions arise. Can machine learning tools be combined with conventional optimisers to improve safety and data efficiency? Can complex, structured decisions be made jointly by a human operator and an artificial agent? Can such algorithms deal with hierarchies in decision making, and how can decisions or models be explained and verified?

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position on Human-Aligned Video-AI for Diagnostic Training
Video AI holds the promise to explore what is unreachable, monitor what is imperceivable and to protect what is most valuable. New species have become identifiable in our deep oceans, the visually impaired profit from automated speech transcriptions of visual scenery, and elderly caregivers may be supported with an extra pair of eyes, to name just three of the many, many application examples. This is no longer wishful thinking. Broad uptake of video-AI for science, for business, and for wellbeing awaits at the horizon, thanks to a decade of phenomenal progress in machine deep learning. However, the same video-AI is also accountable for self-driving cars crashing into pedestrians, deep fakes that make us believe misinformation, and mass-surveillance systems that monitor our behaviour. The research community’s over-concentration on recognition accuracy has neglected human-alignment for societal acceptance. The HAVA Lab is an intern-disciplinary lab that will study how to make the much-needed digital transformation towards human-aligned video AI.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in Cell-water Structure and Dynamics
Water in living cells contains a high concentration of biomolecules, that can significantly alter its properties (see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-00858-0). There are even cells (bacterial spores, for instance) in which all chemistry is put to a standstill: these cells can survive for years in a dried-out, chemically ‘frozen’ state, from which they can recover completely and continue living as if nothing happened. The physical and chemical mechanisms underlying this suspended metabolism are still a mystery. In this PhD project, you will help to solve this mystery by using state-of-the-art experimental methods to investigate the structure and dynamics of water and proteins in living cells capable of surviving extreme circumstances, such as drought and thermal shock. Knowledge of how some cells manage to survive complete desiccation for such long periods of time can help to develop strategies for the dry, room-temperature storage of blood and vaccines (important for third-world countries), but potentially even for the dry storage of entire organisms. The project will be carried out at the University of Amsterdam, in cooperation with the Max-Planck Institute in Mainz.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in AI and Visual Analytics for Multi-Modal Summarization
Are you interested in performing cutting-edge research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and visual analytics for social good? Visual analytics is the science of making sense of data using visualization and modeling techniques. The Informatics Institute at the University of Amsterdam is looking for an ambitious PhD student to integrate AI and visual analytics in summarizing multi-modal data in the public health domain. Your research is part of the Multimedia Analytics (MultiX) lab with a strong focus on dealing with multi-modal data.
Nowadays, there is a lot of multi-modal data related to public health in local regions, such as citizen reports/complaints, social media streams, camera monitoring footage, and environmental sensor readings. There is a strong need to build AI-driven visual analytics tools that can summarize these data to help local stakeholders understand the patterns and events that are currently happening, such as air pollution, disease outbreaks, and flooding. Besides, summarization can be used to encourage citizens to monitor their surroundings, which can lead to a sense of community, autonomy, and empowerment. For example, when citizens receive an event notification via apps/emails, they can click on the notification to go to an AI-driven visual analytics tool that shows the summary with different ways for users to provide feedback interactively.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position in Green-and-Explainable Machine Learning
There is growing concern that black-box Machine Learning is not always suitable as its explainability is limited and its energy consumption might be prohibitively expensive. Both issues are interrelated, as enhancing the explainability of ML (ensuring that decisions made by ML are sufficiently motivated to humans by that same ML) may require more complex ML models or additional steps – such as local approximations with an interpretable model or simulations of “what if” scenarios, thus leading to increased energy consumption. Conversely, recent comprehensive research into explainable-by-design deep learning systems indicates that feed-forward neural architectures are intrinsically suitable for explainability, at the cost of worsened classification metrics (accuracy).
Thus, it is important to understand to what extent explainable ML, accurate ML, and reducing the energy consumption of ML could be simultaneously optimised. This way, we can establish best practices to guide ML developers in the implementation of ML models and users in the selection of ML tools that are accurate, explainable, and energy-efficient at the same time.
