Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) Full time
Job Description

The successful candidate will contribute to groundbreaking research that merges robotics, artificial intelligence, and maritime navigation. The role involves developing, implementing, and verifying a foundation model tailored for maritime navigation, which performs contextual reasoning about ship's navigation scenarios in continuous collaboration with the human navigator.

Responsibilities
  • Perform internationally relevant research in situational awareness for marine navigation using foundational models
  • Create relevant datasets through experimental campaigns in the field
  • Develop a language-action model that fuses the navigation actions into an existing LLM and provides textual guidance for collision avoidance
  • Develop a vision-language-action model that reasons about navigation scenarios and provides visual and textual guidance for collision avoidance
  • Verify the contextual reasoning of the developed system in relation to simple and complex navigation scenarios
  • Lead the preparation of scientific publications towards ISI journals and highly ranked international conferences
  • Share findings of your research with qualified professional audiences
  • Co-supervise BSc and MSc projects possibly within areas relevant to the PhD project
  • Provide teaching assistance in BSc and MSc courses at DTU Electro
Requirements
  • Strong analytical skills and background in artificial intelligence, with focus on machine learning, deep learning, and foundational models
  • Experience within the field of machine learning for robotics applications is a plus
  • Documented experience through courses, projects, or former professional work to develop and test applications using artificial intelligence tools, preferably Generative AI
  • Proficiency in Python
  • Strong communication skills in English, especially in connection to writing and presenting scientific results
