The School of Physics, Engineering and Technology brings physicists and engineers together to push the frontiers of knowledge, foster innovation and meet the grand challenges facing society. Our aim is to deliver world-leading research in both fundamental and applied areas whilst developing new technologies that work for the public good, in an environment where everyone can thrive.
As a School, equality, diversity, and inclusion are central to our culture and we strive to provide a working environment which allows all staff and students to contribute fully, to flourish, and to excel. We aim to ensure that there is a supportive and egalitarian culture at all levels and across all staff groups and offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, staff engagement forums, campus facilities and services to support staff from different backgrounds. We are proud to hold Juno Champion and Athena Swan bronze awards, which recognise our commitment to creating an equitable and fully inclusive environment in which staff and students can thrive. We aim to inspire young people to engage with science and engineering through our outreach work.
RoleThis role is centered on processing extensive datasets of electroluminescence (EL) imaging for solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and developing convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithms tailored to identify cracks within the EL images. The selected candidate will be a key player in the Aerial Electroluminescence Inspections (AELI) project, which benefits from funding through the UK-Taiwan Collaborative R&D initiative, under the aegis of Innovate UK. The role demands a synergy of efforts to pioneer novel CNN algorithms. These algorithms will be specifically designed to automate the detection of cracks in EL images of solar PV panels or systems, thereby streamlining the process of analyzing images to estimate the output power losses attributable to the detected solar cell defects. The successful applicant will start on 1 June 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.
