Angebotsnr. 1462910000
Stelle ist zu besetzen ab: 15.03.2024BeschreibungYou will contribute to the project “Digitalization of Biomaterial Research via Deep Learning Approaches” (DC10) which involves the following tasks:
- Preparation of model biomaterial surfaces using systematic variation of surface chemistry via vapour deposition polymerization of functionalized poly-p-xylylenes
- Deep learning-based analysis of fingerprint-like drying droplet patterns by training of convolutional neural networks (CNN)
- Use the CNN to extract cellular localization patterns in polarized light microscopy images via end-to-end hierarchical feature representations
- Complementary characterization via elaborate techniques (e.g. Circular Dichroism, Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, Imaging Ellipsometry)
- Improve the model management to ensure reproducibility by avoiding information loss
