PhD in Physics-Informed Learning for Acoustic Inverse Problems
Develop advanced mathematical and AI frameworks for acoustic field reconstruction and mobile source detection.
Best for:Best for candidates with a strong background in physics-informed machine learning, wave propagation, and numerical optimization.
Overview
This PhD project focuses on creating a robust mathematical and algorithmic framework for solving acoustic inverse problems in complex environments. By integrating the wave equation directly into artificial intelligence architectures, the research aims to enhance acoustic field reconstruction from partial measurements. The work involves developing methods for localizing mobile sources and conducting quantitative detectability analysis. Candidates will work at the intersection of partial differential equation modeling, constrained optimization, and hybrid deep learning. The project has practical applications in distributed acoustic sensing and the detection of mobile platforms.
