PhD position „Novel approaches to the LISA global-fit and catalog problems“ at ETH Zurich
In this PhD project, you will work within the Gravitational Physics group at ETH Zurich and contribute to the formulation, development, and testing of novel algorithms and mathematical techniques for the LISA global-fit problem (the joint detection and characterization of thousands of overlapping gravitational-wave signals), and for the compilation and integration of global-fit products into a catalog of detected sources. You will experiment with a range of computational and mathematical techniques, including neural-network-based inference, information-theoretical approaches, and AI-based acceleration for sampling, likelihoods, and waveforms. You will interact with researchers and engineers in the Swiss LISA Data Center and in LISA Data Centers across Europe, in the ETH AI Center, and in ETH Zurich | Space. Your results will inform the implementation of data-analysis pipelines for LISA, and they will help deliver the scientific results of the mission. Application by December 15th 2024.
