Prof. Shafique’s lab has many-years of R&D experience in cross-layer design and optimization for building energy-efficient and robust AI/ML and vision systems, including efficient learning and inference of complex AI/ML algorithms, specialized neural processing hardware and design tools, and ML security, and their applications in resource-constrained embedded AI/ML systems like autonomous vehicles, UAVs, Robotics, smart houses/cities, Wearables, and Healthcare. The long-term vision of the <em>eBRAIN</em> lab is on embedding an energy-efficient and secure electronic brain inside modern cyber-physical systems (CPS) and IoT-Edge devices to enable assistive cognitive technologies that care for / serve humanity and the ecosystem in a safe and green way.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The successful applicants will join and drive a number of fascinating projects on designing, implementing, optimizing, prototyping and testing conjoint hardware and software techniques for advanced machine learning systems, targeting high energy-efficiency, robustness, and continual learning. Further topics include optimized implementations of transformers, self-supervised learning, continual learning, and MLOps. A key focus will be on IP generation, patenting, high-quality publications in top-tier ML/AI, Robotics, and Systems conferences, and efficient prototyping for real-world use-cases. These projects have a great potential for devising innovative methods to enable next-generation embedded AI features for autonomous systems, assistive robotics, and smart energy & industrial sectors. The candidates will work in a multidisciplinary environment consisting of PhD-level scientists, research engineers, graduate research students and undergraduate students, to investigate cutting-edge scientific methods and to develop full-system prototypes. The <em>eBRAIN</em> lab offers an excellent working environment in an international team with many development possibilities. The candidates are expected to work in a highly collaborative environment with other lab members and industry collaborators.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>Requirements: </strong>Applicants should have a PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
