PhD position summary/title: Doctoral candidate (PhD student) in the field of soft matter physics applied in robotics
The project is about a new generation of fiducial markers (as those used in robotics and Augmented Reality to encode information about objects on which they are applied) designed to carry encrypted messages interpretable only by authorized parties. The markers are made using polymerized Cholesteric liquid crystal Spherical selective Retroreflectors (CSRs), allowing them to be invisible to humans while easy to detect by machine vision. This is a strongly multidisciplinary project, carried out in collaboration with Prof. Holger Voos, head of the Automation & Robotics Group (ARG), and Prof. Gabriele Lenzini, head of the Interdisciplinary Research group in Sociotechnical Cybersecurity (IRiSC), both at the UL Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT). You will be a member of the ESMP group at DPhyMS, FSTM, working under the supervision of the group leader Prof. Jan Lagerwall, and you will be working closely together with PhD candidates of the ARG and IRiSC groups who are being recruited simultaneously. While being rooted in soft matter physics/chemistry and photonics, the teamwork will expose you to challenges within computer science, encryption, and robotics engineering.

Project Objectives: Methodological advances enable a deeper characterization of tumour tissues on the cellular (single-cell omics) and spatial level (imaging). Computational methods are needed for data integration and for gaining deeper insights, e.g., into tumour metabolic rewiring. In this DC we aim to: 1. Develop a novel computational approach for the integration of single-cell RNA-Seq and imaging data towards the detailed metabolic network modelling of cancer tissue on a multi-cell population level. 2. Together with consortium partners, apply this framework for the deeper characterization of metabolic alterations in TNBC and for the prediction of novel drug candidates and combinations.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Candidate in Vision-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping with BIM alignment
The position holder will work under the umbrella of a partnership project Theia with the Luxembourg-based company GAMMA AR, developing a solution for real-time vision-based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) of a hand-held tablet on real construction sites (i.e. as-built), with drift-free alignment with existing Building Information Management (BIM) data (i.e. as-planned). This solution will extend our novel Situational Graphs (S-Graphs), concretely our Informed S-Graphs and our Vision-based S-Graphs. Concretely, the main scientific challenges are the (1) vision-based global localization of the hand-held device within BIM (i.e. global alignment between the real construction site and the BIM) when the main structural elements (e.g. walls) are built and there are no major deviations from the BIM. (2) vision-based individual alignment between the main elements of the construction site and BIM, when there are no major deviations. And (3) vision-based global and individual alignment between the construction site and its main elements and BIM in the presence of deviations. The solution will be validated experimentally in real datasets and real construction sites (together with their BIM). On top of this, the solution will be integrated into our ready-to-use robotic platforms to demonstrate its potential use in autonomous robot systems in real-world use cases.

PhD position summary/title: PhD position in the frame of the PRIDE grant “Cancer biology 2 (CANBIO2)”
Project description: The assessment of increasing numbers of treatment combinations for advanced stage melanoma patients with different genetic backgrounds requires more sophisticated in vitro models that faithfully recapitulate the variable tumor ecosystems. In this project, we will establish a collection of 3D multicomponent (3D-MC) spheroids representing the major melanoma subtypes, sensitive and resistant to common treatment combinations. To phenocopy different sites of metastasis, cell types present in the respective target organs as well as immune cells will be included in 3D-MCs.
The 3D-MC collection will be functionally and transcriptionally characterised by a combination of in-house available profiling technologies. Subsequent medium-throughput drug as well as metabolic screening (consumption release rates of nutrients and intracellular metabolic fluxes) on selected 3D-MCs will be performed to identify metabolic biomarkers (indicating treatment responses) and possibly new drug targets. Finally, potential novel biomarkers and drug treatments combining targeted with immunotherapies will be validated using the whole MEL-MOD collection.

The Digital Medicine Research Group at LCSB is seeking a highly motivated PhD Candidate to actively contribute in the translation of objective (sensor-derived) and subjective (PROMS/PREMS) mobility outcomes into relevant information for clinical decision support. The candidate will work on data recorded from Parkinson’s patients in different scenarios, spanning from supervised scripted tasks in the laboratory to continuous unsupervised recording in the home environment, with the final goal of understanding how this new digital perspective could help toward a better characterization of the disease progression and a personalized treatment strategy.
In particular, the doctoral research will be centered on the development of individualized models of disease progression for data driven clinical decision support. This project will be divided into three phases. First, the candidate will evaluate cross-sectional and longitudinal correlations between clinical scores, patient-reported outcomes, and sensor derived gait parameters collected in the lab setting during supervised scripted tasks. Next, the information recorded during free-living monitoring of the patients in their home environment through wearable sensors, patient reported outcomes, and patient reported experience measures will be integrated. Finally, during the third and last part of the project, the candidate will exploit the previously acquired experiences for the creation of individualized data-driven models for the treatment cycles in the patient’s journey, where the changes in patient’s condition are not related to the natural disease progression but to a clinical intervention or a modification in the medication regimen

A possible research starting point for this PhD project is the practical evaluation of a combination of graph-based techniques with number-theoretic problems like the “simultaneous Chinese Remainder Theorem” or integer factorisation and generalizations thereof, especially practical evaluations of possible algorithms for the “Decisional Simultaneous Chinese Remaindering” problem is of interest. Suggestions for other interesting research topics in computational number theory or public key cryptography can also be discussed.
