PhD Scholarschip Electronics and Informatics: Embedded and AI technology for biomedical applications
Offer DescriptionThe use of AI on wearable devices for advanced physiological monitoring faces significant limitations primarily due to resource constraints, including limited processing power, memory, and storage capacity, which restrict the complexity and size of deployable AI models. Additionally, the need for energy efficiency to preserve battery life poses a challenge, as AI algorithms, particularly deep learning models, are often computationally intensive and consume substantial power. Ensuring real-time processing is another hurdle, as AI algorithms must deliver immediate feedback or interventions, necessitating low-latency performance. Moreover, the variability and noise in biomedical signals, privacy concerns, and the need for robust and secure data handling further complicate the effective implementation of AI in wearable devices.Recent advancements in embedded AI, edge AI, tinyML or neuromorphic technologies have significantly enhanced the capabilities of wearables in biomedical signal processing. However, the development of ML models for such a constrained devices is still challenging. The goal of this PhD scholarship at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is to address the tension between model accuracy, power efficiency and accuracy while exploiting the characteristics of physiological monitoring.Key Responsibilities:
The mandate includes, to a limited extent, coordinating and supervising exercises, practical and projects (WPO) in course units within the programmes of the Faculty of Engineering. The concrete assignment will be determined annually in consultation. In this respect, you have a sound knowledge of the following subjects: programming concepts, software development and AI algorithms.Profile:
