PhD fellowship in Physics-Informed Data Analysis for Biosciences
Department of Computer Science
Faculty of SCIENCE
University of Copenhagen


The Department of Computer Science invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Physics-Informed Data Analysis for Biosciences [the project is part of the research project “Differentiable Physical Models for Data Analysis in Biology”, financed by the Novo Nordisk Foundation]

Start date is (expected to be) 1 November 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project

This project revolves around improving data analysis of biophysical/biomedical data by combining physical modelling and deep learning. There is freedom to shape the precise problem by the candidates themselves, and the formulation of new avenues of research is encouraged. Research areas could include computer vision, development of differentiable physical models, synthetic/differentiable image generation, regularization of simulation-to-reality gap, probabilistic modelling, expert knowledge in neural networks, etc.

Example projects which fall within the requirements of this PhD:

  1. Study and improvement of robustness of image regression to style transfers / learning style transfers from data.
  2. Synthetic training of neural networks for understanding dynamics of quantum dots in mouse brains [in collaboration with Dept. of Neuroscience].
  3. Extraction of biophysical models from videos of e.g. motile microorganisms.


Who are we looking for?

We are looking for motivated candidates within the field(s) of computer science, physics, applied mathematics, or similar technical fields. Experience with biophysical systems and machine learning is a plus, interest in these fields is a must.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?

We conduct research on a broad range of topics that lie on the boundaries between physics, biology, medicine and computer science. You will be part of the section “Image Analysis, Computational Modelling, and Geometry”, which offers offer a creative and exciting research atmosphere. This team is comprised of experts in various fields, creating a rich environment for innovation and interdisciplinary learning. The team operates in a highly collaborative environment, encouraging the exchange of ideas and expertise. Regular meetings and workshops are conducted to discuss progress, challenges, and strategies, ensuring a cohesive and focused approach to the project goals. The PhD fellowship is given in accordance with Danish legislation and will typically run for 3 years. The salary is set according to Danish Union Contracts which are quite competitive on an international scale.

The group is a part of Department of Computer Science, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen.

Principal supervisors are Julius B. Kirkegaard [Dept. of Computer Science & Niels Bohr Institute, [email protected], +45 40938516] and François Lauze [Dept. of Computer Science, [email protected]]
