In addition to a high profile academic consortium (7
european universities involved), the network can offer students a number of
prominent end users of accurate rendering technology as industrial
partners. Having the likes of IKEA, Procter & Gamble, Weta Digital,
Zeiss and Adobe all together in one project offers unique opportunities
to see multiple real world usage cases for predictive rendering
technology in action.
15 Early Stage
Researchers (ESRs) in total will be hired for the duration of their three year participation in
the project, and will be in charge of their training plans. Seven of
the eight beneficiaries are world-class universities and academic
institutions, who will enrol the hired ESRs in their Ph.D. programmes.
The eight beneficiary, Luxion, is a company in Denmark, where the Ph.D.
training will be overseen by the nearby Danish Technical University,
which is also one of the seven academic beneficiaries.
The goal of this project is to develop skills and protocols needed
for industrial usage of Predictive Rendering (PR) technologies – image
synthesis which delivers results that one can actually rely on to be
visually accurate. Application areas of such systems are in such diverse
areas as product design, architecture, sensor system calibration,
training of autonomous vehicle systems, movie VFX and manufacturing
control. Goal of the ITN is to collectively train young researchers in
this promising, future-oriented and research-driven application area.
Each PhD student has an industrially relevant cutting-edge research
topic.
Motivated and creative candidates should hold a Master´s degree in
either Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics and have a solid
background in computer graphics. Excellent programming skills and fluent
English are essential. You may apply even if you are already a Ph.D.
candidates elsewhere – we can establish a collaboration with your
current advisor. Start date is as soon as possible.
Applicants from all over the world are welcome if meeting the eligibility criteria and formal requirements.
