Postdoc in industrial tomography with deep learning

The position is part of a collaborative project with the Division of Wood Science and Engineering at Luleå university of technology, whose overall goal is to develop theory and algorithms for image-guided optimisation of the sawline. Specific tasks is to develop and implement physics aware deep neural networks for tomographic 3D image reconstruction with partially unknown acquisition geometry. Prototypes will be implemented as components in ODL (http://github.com/odlgroup/odl) that offers a seamless coupling between frameworks for tomography (ASTRA) and deep learning (PyTorch).
