PhD studentship at Institute of Intelligent Systems and Robot

PhD studentship available at Institute of Intelligent Systems and Robotics
University of Paris 6 (www.upmc.fr)

The position is available within the framework an interdisciplinary project HuPer and Lunettes Intelligentes on "Cognitive navigation in space ; application to design of mobility assistance for visually impaired". Cooperation with London University (professor Steve Maybank).
...
Project summary. ISIR (Institute of Intelligent Systems & Robotics) (former Laboratoire de
Robotique de Paris,) of Paris 6 University studies neuro-cognitive human-space interaction in order to design and realize prototypes of intelligent systems, robotics and mechatronics systems, highly autonomous and/or able to assist healthy and handicapped (especially visually impaired), in performing everyday life tasks. The provision of autonomous mobility for the visually impaired is a difficult but important societal problem. Solutions based on GPS and a digital map of the environment are not suitable because of the low, 10m, precision of GPS, poor satellite
signal reception in urban areas and indoors, and the difficulty of responding to changes in the environment. Artificial vision in the form of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) provides a satisfactory solution for autonomous mobile robots. However, SLAM is not suitable for assisting the visually impaired, because human navigation is far more complex than that of a mobile robot. Human navigation leads to the definition of natural visual SLAM (SLAM-VN). SLAM-VN is a simulation of the visual perception-motion loop, including feedback from inertial
sensors to the imaging system, in analogy with the human vestibulo-ocular feedback.

This should reinforce the robustness of classical stereovision systems and solve the problem of the spatio-temporal instabilities caused by uneven ground and by sudden and unpredictable human movements. This thesis aims to define precisely the concept of SLAM-VN and model it in
hardware and software. We will use the ISIR convergent stereovision system to which we will add an inertial system, which will play the role analogous to the human vestibular system. The combined system is named intelligent glasses (IG). One of challenges of the IG system is the
correct synchronization and fusion of the visual information and the inertial information. The information about the environment obtained by SLAM-VN will be used for object recognition and tracking, and obstacle detection.

The Fisher-Rao metric will be used to quantify the accuracy with which the objects and obstacles can be described. This will lead to the design of new vision processing algorithms, never investigated before. 3D object localization (precision of ~ 0.5 m) will be established via
RANSAC type algorithms. Object tracking will use a classical approach such as a particle filter. The SLAM-VN model will be validated by experiments, including navigation in real environments by both the visually impaired and by the robot iCUB (European humanoid robotic platform of ISIR laboratory). The interface for visually impaired will include a touch stimulating interface upon which obstacles will be displayed Key words: visual perception, stereo, inertial data, data fusion, localization, object recognition, Fisher-Rao metric, RANSAC, particle filter,visually impaired mobility assistance

PhD student: A systems analysis of rodent animal models of human disease

PhD student: A systems analysis of rodent animal models of human disease

Function title PhD student Where Bioinformatics Laboratory, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam Apply before July 15, 2009 Project Model organisms have been essential for improving our knowledge of human disease. Especially rodents, mainly mouse and rat, are often used for this purpose, as well as for pre-clinical trials of new drugs and toxicology screens.

However, often animal models fail to mimic human disease adequately. As a consequence drugs successfully tested in animal models fail in costly clinical trials or are falsely discarded. Goal of this project is to explore the suitability of rodents as a model organism for human disease, specifically metabolic syndrome. Since metabolic syndrome is a complex multifactorial group of metabolic conditions, a systems approach will be taken to uncover the molecular networks perturbed by disease.

Specifically, we aim to validate the similarity of a large number of rodent models for metabolic syndrome to their human counterparts. The project is tightly linked to ongoing projects in biological and clinical groups at the AMC. This project is
part of the second round of the BioRange programme of the Netherlands Bioinformatics Centre (NBIC; www.nbic.nl).

Tasks The successful candidate will work towards a PhD degree in bioinformatics. We will build a compendium of rodent and human metabolic syndrome related gene expression datasets. We develop module-based joint analysis methods that search for conserved patterns consisting of sets of genes and sets of conditions in both rodent model and human under which they are co-expressed.

These patterns are used to evaluate the molecular similarity of rodent models and their human counterpart. Conserved patterns will be further interpreted by constructing functional networks for metabolic syndrome in rodents and human. We expect methods developed and resulting conserved patterns and functional networks to be useful for elucidating the model mismatch and for increasing the predictive value of preclinical trials and toxicity screens.

Requirements
We are looking for an enthusiastic communicative team player with
  • a MSc in one of the following areas: bioinformatics, computer science, engineering, statistics, physics, plus a proven interest in biology
  • strong background in computer science (machine learning, graph algorithms, relational databases)
  • good programming knowledge (R, C/Java/C++, SQL)
  • Additional conditions of employment: The appointment will be on temporary basis for a maximum period of four years. Based on a full-time appointment (36 hours per week), compensation will be according to standard salary levels for PhD students starting with a salary of EUR 2046,- with a yearly growth to EUR 2622,- gross a month. The collective employment agreement of the AMC is applicable. Additional information about the vacancy can be obtained from: Dr. ir. P.D.
