About the Job

Requirements

  • Be in the final year of an engineering school or enrolled in Master 2, specializing in applied mathematics, signal and image processing, optimization, or data science.
  • Have solid foundations in linear algebra, probability and statistics, and scientific programming with Python.
  • English proficiency at B2 level, assessed during the interview.

Responsibilities

  • Formulate AFM-IR acquisition as a sampling and reconstruction problem subject to experimental constraints.
  • Characterize data redundancy and sparsity in spatial, spectral, or multimodal representations.
  • Propose deterministic, random, or adaptive subsampling strategies for measurement positions and/or wavenumbers.
  • Study regularized reconstruction methods, including ℓ1 sparsity, total variation, low-rank models, and learned dictionaries, and quantify their uncertainties.
  • Compare approaches against complete reference acquisitions using fidelity, preservation of chemical and mechanical signatures, noise robustness, and actual instrument-time savings metrics.
  • Discuss the most relevant methods with AFM-IR specialists.
  • Prepare a state-of-the-art review and quantitative study of sampling and reconstruction strategies.
  • Develop a reproducible Python prototype to generate acquisition plans, reconstruct maps, and compare methods, including tests, documentation, and Git version control.
  • Validate the methods on real AFM-IR data and provide operational recommendations and an assessment of the trade-off between acceleration, reconstruction quality, and preserved physicochemical or mechanical information.

Desired Qualifications

  • Knowledge of inverse problems or compressed sampling is an advantage.
  • Demonstrated interest in experimental work and dialogue with physical chemists is desirable.
