Description

WORK ENVIRONMENT The Electronics and Informatics department (ETRO) belongs to the Faculty of Engineering Sciences at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and is embedded in the Future Media & Imaging Department of the iMinds Research Institute. ETRO performs research on the representation, transmission, analysis, quality assessment and visualization of multidimensional signals. ETRO has built a large international collaboration network with a wide variety of industrial partners, academic institutions and R&D centres, and participates in a numerous fundamental, strategic and applied research projects in these domains. In (multi-dimensional) data compression, ETRO has been active for more than 15 years in various research areas, including predictive and transform-based coding of images, video and meshes, multiple description coding, joint source and channel coding, distributed video coding, visual quality assessment, and optimized media transmission over networks.

RESEARCH TOPIC

 Since the invention of holography in 1948, researchers are attempting to realise realistic 3D projections. Recent developments in photonics, microelectronics and computer engineering offer the prospect that this will soon be feasible. But to generate, process and communicate these 3D projections we require large supercomputers and huge network and storage bandwidths. In order to alleviate these bottlenecks, the ERC INTERFERE project will pursue suitable sparse data representations for holographic signals. Moreover, holographic coding architectures will be designed that will address the bandwidth issues in this project. Research in the context of this postdoc position will be particularly targeted towards the modelling of holographic signals and the exploration of strategies to obtain sparse signal approximations of these signals. Furthermore, research will be targeted towards the design of an associated source coding architecture. Besides the scientific challenge, the position provides a great opportunity to work closely together with experienced researchers in the field of multidimensional signal processing and photonics.

 PREREQUISITES & OTHER REQUIREMENTS

You have a master degree in electrical engineering, mathematics or physics and a PhD degree in research fields associated to this position. You are attracted by the challenges in the domain of digital holography and associated multidimensional signal processing. You have already realised and excellent publication track record with publications in renowned journals and you have the ambition to pursue a scientific career. You have excellent programming skills (C/C++) and/or profound MATLAB experience. You have a thorough background in mathematics and digital signal processing and preferably a basic knowledge of photonics. You are a team player.
