Information on the application process and an overview of FAQs can be found here
Your Job:
In this master’s thesis project, you will focus on the application of visual foundation models for the automated analysis of grain growth in nanocrystalline metals imaged by in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This work aims to segment and track evolving grain boundaries using state-of-the-art unsupervised segmentation models, such as MatSAM, and to relate structural evolution to physical mechanisms of grain growth. Key responsibilities include:
- Implementing and optimizing segmentation pipelines based on MatSAM and other vision foundation models for high-resolution TEM video frames
- Performing frame-to-frame tracking of grain boundaries to quantify grain boundary migration and morphological evolution
- Analyzing how initial texture, grain size, and growth conditions (thermal vs. stress-driven) influence grain evolution
- Communicating results and contributing to collaborative research with partners at the Georgia Institute of Technology
Your Profile:
- Completed Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Materials Science, or a related field
- Strong programming skills in Python, ideally with experience in image processing and deep learning using PyTorch or similar frameworks
- Familiarity with computer vision techniques; experience with segmentation, tracking, or video analysis is a plus
- Basic understanding of materials microstructures, grain growth, and electron microscopy would be a plus
