Research Assistant - salary grade E13 TV-L Berliner Hochschulen - for qualification

Dynamic image analysis has become established in particle measurement technology as a common method for characterizing dispersed substances. Its advantage lies in the fact that, in addition to particle size, shape information can also be extracted. For this to be possible, particles must be fed in a suitable manner. Furthermore, suitable multi-camera systems must be used to extract 3D information. Both requires improvement, and therefore, simulations will be used to thoroughly investigate both liquid-fed and free-flowing particle feeding in the context of multi-camera systems. This will then allow the application of machine learning methods based on the findings (see, for example, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.powtec.2025.121193). This will provide reliable 3D information in particle measurement technology for the first time. This opens up new possibilities for quality control and process control in industrial applications. Teaching duties will be required during the course of employment.
