    PhD Scholarship in Machine Learning for Non-Stationary and Non-Static Nano-Tomography - DTU Compute

    Technical University of Denmark

    Kongens Lyngby, DenmarkDeadline 16 Nov 2026

    Recent advances in machine learning and deep learning are opening new possibilities for computational imaging, including the reconstruction of complex 3D structures from experimental imaging data. In this fully funded PhD project at DTU Compute, you will develop novel learning-based methods for X-ray nano-tomography. As state-of-the-art synchrotron imaging systems push towards ever higher spatial resolution, even minute positioning errors, mechanical drift, and sample deformations become sources of image degradation. The central challenge is to reconstruct accurate 3D and 4D representations of
