Postdoctorate Fellowships in Machine Learning or Quantum Computing
The project is part of the larger research project “AI4NaturalFood”, in collaboration with the Department of Food Science, and the project is financed by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. Start date is 1 March 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The project is about developing machine learning (ML) methods that help to develop the food of the future. The successful candidate is expected to conduct basic research in ML and to contribute to the application of ML in the food science. Currently, plant ingredients are often refined to almost molecular purity - and then combined again to create structured foods. This isolation is resource intensive, and the removal of fibre and micronutrients can compromise the nutritional value. This can be mitigated by applying milder forms of processing that do not fully refine ingredients and leave some of the native structure of the plant material intact. These less refined ingredients however exhibit complex behaviour, and we therefore need machine learning to direct the experimental data generation that will be carried out by other team members in the project. Learning meaningful representation spaces that model the complex space of ingredients and their properties can be immensely useful. These representation spaces can be informed by multiple modalities of data, spanning time-series data, microscopy images, rheological measurements, and so on. Integrating these modalities into common representation spaces can help in the development of more sustainable food. Furthermore, incorporating active learning methods can steer new experimentation while incorporating adequate prior domain knowledge. Supervisors are Prof Remko Boom Remko.boom@food.ku.dk, Prof Christian Igel igel@di.ku.dk and Tenure-track Assistant Professor Raghavendra Selvan raghav@di.ku.dk.
