    In this role, you will develop AI-based transfer learning approaches for processing hydroacoustic sensor data and evaluate the robustness of machine learning models in maritime applications.

    Job Technologies

    Your role in the team

    • As a new team member in the Group for Situation Awareness and Cybersecurity within the Department of Maritime Security Technologies, you will explore and develop innovative AI-based approaches to data processing in the underwater domain, focusing on the transferability of machine learning models between different hydroacoustic sensors (e.g., side-scan sonar, multibeam echo sounder, side-scan sonar).
    • You plan and execute research projects on the development and evaluation of transfer learning strategies to enhance the efficiency and robustness of AI models, taking into account the heterogeneity of sensor data.
    • This includes the design of shared feature backbones, the application of domain adaptation and multi-task learning, as well as the preprocessing of raw data using GANs or specialized filters.
    • You conduct experimental investigations, analyze results using appropriate metrics and visualizations, derive new research questions from the findings, and test the work in an experimental maritime situational awareness system.
    • You actively contribute to the development of flexible, adaptable, and secure security solutions for maritime infrastructures – with a direct link between fundamental research and practical application.
