Title:
PhD position in Data-Enhanced Model Discovery for Physical Sciences

Research area and project description:
Data-driven models are becoming increasingly important in both academia and industry for enhancing simulations of complex phenomena. In this research, supported by the ERC Starting Grant project "ALPS-AI-based Learning for Physical Simulation", we use machine learning tools and the latest development in AI to discover new models and improve simulators in different fields:growth phenomena in natural systems (such as plants and living organisms): we aim at gathering insight into the physics behind the complex growth patterns observed in nature to provide design principles for nature-inspired robots;soft robotics: developing accurate and efficient model for continuum soft manipulators is crucial for implementing effective control strategies. We would like to distill these models from experimental data, using our algorithms;fluid mechanics: the prediction of complex phenomena such as turbulence requires dedicated modeling approaches that can benefit from data-driven methods.
The distinct feature of our approach is the interpretability of the models discovered using our algorithms, compared to black-box, purely data-driven methods. Also, we combine AI/ML tools with mathematical and physical theories, to guarantee the consistency of the generated models and aim at maximizing their generalization capabilities.
