Offer Description

The University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) has opened a full-time position for a PostDoc Researcher in the area of machine learning,at the Department of Innovative Technologies (DTI) based at the USI-SUPSI university campus in Lugano-Viganello (East Campus), within the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IDSIA). The contract will starts on June 1st, 2023 or date to be agreed upon.

You will carry out research within the EU-funded project PRAESIIDIUM, in collaboration with an outstanding team of academic, medical and industrial partners from all over Europe. We will develop a prototype tool for real-time prediction of the pre-diabetic risk based on the integration of patient-specific mathematical models and a rich dataset of real-life data. The approach will rely on novel physics-informed machine learning (ML) techniques in order to overcome the limits of standard “black-box” ML practice, while reducing the computational time for simulating heavy numerical models and improving their prediction performances.
