Additionally, we develop mathematics-based AI methods for inverse problems and PDEs, as well as AI-based learning of physical laws, with applications in medicine, robotics, and telecommunication.

Your Tasks:

  • Research in one of the group’s focus areas
  • Publication of research results at international conferences and in leading journals
