II-2311 EXPLAINABLE IMAGE QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF SCIENTIFIC LOW-LIGHT IMAGES INTERNSHIP

Description

Are you passionate about research? So are we! Come and join us

The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a Research and Technology Organization (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment and IT. By transforming scientific knowledge into technologies, smart data and tools, LIST empowers citizens in their choices, public authorities in their decisions and businesses in their strategies.

https://www.list.lu/

You ‘d like to contribute as an intern? Join our IT for Innovation Services department

The IT for Innovative Services (ITIS) department, with its 100 researchers and engineers, focuses on the digital transformation of operations in organizations with traditional environments and digital ecosystems, with the aim of improving their performance and innovation capacity. The common thread throughout ITIS is to develop the most efficient use of big data to ensure the most appropriate decision-making processes.

The department relies on the Data Analytics Platform: a hybrid infrastructure covering the entire range of data analytics activities. The platform is based on three pillars: a high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, a cognitive analytics pillar and an interactive visualization wall (Viswall).

eXplainable ArtificiaI Intelligence (XAI) consists of developing AI models whose predictions and decisions can be interpreted by a human. This contrasts with the "black box" concept where even its designers cannot explain why an AI model leads to a specific result.

As a follow-up of a project, we plan to apply XAI in the field of Space Observation. This topic continues to fascinate medias and public, as shown by the extraordinary excitement after the frequent publications of images captured with the James Webb Telescope. By using recent automated telescopes (e.g. VAONIS), Electronically Assisted Astronomy allows everyone to capture images of celestial objects from any location (galaxies, nebula, stars clusters, planets and even comets).

In this context, the internship consists in designing and developing XAI models for Image Quality Assessment of scientific low-light images – to automatically evaluate the quality of images while allowing for the results interpretation.

Responsibilities

How will you contribute?

You will be mainly in charge of:

Review the state of the art about XAI and Image Quality Assessment for low-light images, then possibly propose original approaches and/or improvements.
Design and implement the methods and improvements in a Python prototype.
Test the prototype on existing high-resolution data (example: MILAN Sky Survey -- https://publicationid.list.lu/milan-sky-survey-raw-images-captured-with-a-stellina-observation-station)
Document the code and write a report describing the technical/scientific contribution, the evaluation results. If applicable, the results will lead to an academic publication.

IE-2321 INTERNSHIP IN ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

Description

Are you passionate about research? So are we! Come and join us

https://www.list.lu/

You ‘d like to contribute as an intern?Join our Environmental Research and Innovation department

You will join the Biotechnologies and Environmental Analytics Platform (BEAP). With a team of more than 180 scientists and engineers from life and environmental science, the ERIN department has the necessary interdisciplinary knowledge and skills to tackle major environmental challenges our society is facing today: climate change mitigation, ecosystem resilience, sustainable energy systems, and efficient use of renewable resources, environmental pollution prevention and control.

The BEAP makes state-of-the art monitoring, analytical, computational and modelling resources accessible to industry, public stakeholders and academics. It offers a unique combination of High-level expertise, state-of-the art instruments and fully equipped labs for environmental analysis and integrative biology. As a part of the BEAP, the candidate will join the BEAP-Belvaux Pole, which focuses on the quantification of chemical substances (metabolites, toxins, xenobiotics, fatty acids...) in various environmental and biological matrices.

Responsibilities

How will you contribute?

In the framework of past and ongoing projects, the BEAP-Belvaux Pole has developed a set of analytical methods for the determination of organic contaminants (pesticides, pharmaceuticals, estrogenic compounds, etc.) in environmental samples. These methods are based on Liquid Chromatography coupled to tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and, more recently, to High-Resolution MS (LC-HRMS). Due to the ever-growing number of compounds of interest and their respective degradation products, the methods have been progressively upgraded, but remain largely based on generic conditions (essentially stationary and mobile phase properties).

Thus, a systematic optimisation of the analytical conditions is needed, also considering the significant progresses recently achieved on stationary phase chemistry, that offer now interesting properties for the retention of challenging compounds such as polar pesticides or metabolites.

The objective of the internship is to perform an update of LC-MS/MS and LC-HRMS analytical methods for organic contaminants in water, focused on polar pesticides and degradation compounds. To that purpose, different LC columns will be tested and compared, as well as different mobile phases and gradient conditions. In addition, the optimisation of on-line sample preparation conditions by Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) will be performed.
