Ph. D. Student Opening in Robot Vision, Spring/Fall 2013

The Intelligent Autonomous Systems Lab (http://ualr.edu/cxye/laboratory.htm) of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock has one Ph.D. student opening for Spring/Fall 2013. The successful candidate will be involved in a NASA funded project and develop 3D point cloud processing methods for robot navigation. We will use a 3D Flash LIDAR Camera to collect intensity and range data for autonomous navigation. This position will be supported by a Research Assistantship. The student will work together with a post-doc funded by the same grant. The research team will work on a wide range of research problems on robot vision, including 6-DOF pose estimation by computer vision, terrain mapping, 3D data segmentation, and autonomous navigation. General guideline of admission to graduate study is referred to http://ualr.edu/enss/. The lab currently hosts research funded by the National Science Foundation and NASA and supports 4 Ph.D. students.

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock is a dynamic metropolitan university locating at the state’s capital city, Little Rock (http://www.littlerock.com). Applicants should hold a degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or related fields. Desired skills include programming in C/C++ and Matlab, image processing, 3D computer vision. To apply, contact Dr. Cang Ye (cxye@ualr.edu) with detailed CV and copies of transcript(s), TOEFL and GRE.
