AI Summary

Lead the development of advanced muon tomography algorithms to transform raw particle data into high-resolution 3D density reconstructions for mission-critical industrial, defense, and aerospace applications. Bridge cutting-edge physics, AI, and software engineering to solve high-flux track challenges and deliver production-ready tools. Collaborate with global research partners like DESY and industry leaders in a fast-paced, autonomous skunkworks environment.

Key Highlights
Develop and scale next-gen density-reconstruction algorithms (POCA, ASR, likelihood optimization) for muon tomography
Optimize performance with adaptive/multi-resolution grids while balancing speed, memory, and resolution
Leverage AI and multi-modal data fusion (optical images + DUT geometry) to enhance reconstruction accuracy
Collaborate with top-tier research facilities (DESY, DLR) and industry partners in aerospace/defense sectors
Key Responsibilities
Design, implement, and scale density-reconstruction algorithms from point-based methods (POCA, ASR) to likelihood-optimized approaches
Optimize reconstruction performance using adaptive or multi-resolution numerical grids to balance memory, speed, and spatial resolution
Develop precise per-track error weights for uncertainty modeling, leveraging the muon beam’s narrow energy bandwidth
Integrate optical images and DUT geometry as hard constraints to narrow the solution space in multi-modal data fusion
Solve track pile-up and hit-ambiguity issues in high-flux tracking detectors
Package research algorithms into production-ready, standalone software tools with fixed I/O formats
Collaborate with cross-functional teams and international research facilities (e.g., DESY, DLR) with occasional travel
