UNSER PROFIL

We are looking for a new team member to join the research group “Data Science & Artificial Intelligence in Materials” at RWTH Aachen University as part of the Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1394 who will focus on developing new methods in electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis based on artificial intelligence.
The CRC 1394 focuses on the understanding the role of defect phases on the properties of materials. Across the research consortium, the materials are characterised using a wide range of methods, in this project we will focus on the analysis using electron backscatter diffraction. Since the change in the pattern due to defect phases is expected to be small, conventional analysis methods are likely not powerful enough to resolve the quantities of interest. Therefore, new methods, based on artificial intelligence, need to be developed to be able to analyse the intricate features of the crystals. As part of the funding for the CRC, a new EBSD detector will be procured that uses the TimePix sensor for direct electron capture. In collaboration with other projects of the CRC, as well as the vendor, we will also develop new methods to exploit the capabilities of this sensor to improve the image acquisition process.
