15 PhD positions in GRAPES

We are pleased to announce 15 open PhD Positions within the new European Network GRAPES: Learning, Processing and Optimising Shapes. GRAPES is a Marie Sk lodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network in the framework of H2020, started on December 1st, 2019, and lasting for 4 years. It includes 11 academic/industrial groups o.ering 15 PhD's, and 6 associated partners; it is coordinated by ATHENA Research & Innovation Center, Greece. GRAPES aims at advancing the state-of-the-art in Mathematics, Computer-Aided Design, and Machine Learning, in order to promote game changing approaches for generating, optimising, and learning 3D shapes, along with a multisectoral training for young researchers, supported by the active participation of SMEs. Recent advances in the above domains have solved numerous tasks concerning multimedia and 2D data. However, automation of 3D geometry processing and analysis lags severely behind, despite their importance in science, technology and everyday life, and some well-understood underlying mathematical principles. Concrete applications include simulation, manufacturing and 3D printing, visualisation and naval design, retrieval and mining, reconstruction and urban planning.
