PhD position on radar & LiDAR sensing for continuous microgesture recognition.

The Earth and Life Institute and LouRIM are hiring a PhD Researcher on radar & LiDAR sensing for continuous microgesture recognition.

The COSMIC project (COntinuouS MICrogesture acquisition and sensing for natural interaction) aims to develop methods for the continuous detection and recognition of subtle finger and hand microgestures in realistic environments.

You will focus on radar and LiDAR sensing for continuous microgesture detection and recognition, combining experimental measurements, signal processing, physical modelling and data analysis.

The offer is a 4-years PhD position. The candidate will work under the supervision of Prof. Sébastien Lambot and Prof. Jean Vanderdonckt.

Among the requirements: 

• MSc degree in engineering, bioengineering, computer science, robotics, physics, or another relevant scientific field; 
• Strong background in signal processing, mathematics and programming; 
• Interest in radar, LiDAR, inverse problems and/or machine learning; 
• Experience with Python, MATLAB and/or C/C++ is an asset; 
• Interest in multidisciplinary research combining sensing and human–computer interaction; 
• Good written and spoken English, autonomy, creativity and enthusiasm for research.

Starting date: ASAP 
Applications must be submitted as soon as possible, the job position is open until filled.
