About the SnT
SnT is a leading international research and innovation centre in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services. We play an instrumental role in Luxembourg by fueling innovation through research partnerships with industry, boosting R&D investments leading to economic growth, and attracting highly qualified talent.
We're looking for people driven by excellence, excited about innovation, and looking to make a difference. If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place
Your Role
Space weather, similar to weather on Earth, has a significant effect on infrastructure in space and on Earth. For example, solar storms may obstruct radio communication on Earth and space. Severe space weather events may even lead to failures of the electric grid, causing significant economic damage and posing a threat to societal stability. As weather forecasts on Earth, space weather forecasts may help to mitigate and prepare for such space weather events. Recently, the use of machine learning for improved space weather forecasting has gained in importance.
The Luxembourg-based company Mission Space and SnT, University of Luxembourg are joining forces to develop a space weather center of excellence. The first building block is to improve the accuracy of space weather forecasting using a combination of existing space weather models and data collected in space. For the latter, Mission Space will soon launch a dedicated satellite constellation for acquiring space weather data in space.
You will perform research on applying machine learning to space weather forecasting. This includes:
- Geomagnetic indices analysis for time series behavior extrapolation into the near future (flux, indicators, indices). The objective is to discover patterns in the time series that are correlated with solar particle events in the magnetosphere. Then, we would use these patterns as a learning base to estimate the probability of occurrence of solar particle events connected to these patterns. Thus, it is desirable that the to-be-developed machine learning models are interpretable, or at least that their prediction can be justified through explainable AI techniques. The end goal is to enhance event criteria, which are currently based on threshold values (NOAA). Open-source data are available to support the research. To facilitate the start-up of the research project, Mission Space can also provide terminology table and "fresh publication" that the student can consult to increase his knowledge of the field
- Use of secondary indices: new combinations, based more on LEO/ground measurements than on solar wind parameters. The use and the automated forecasting of secondary indices could improve the time series and lead to better predictions
Your Profile
Competences / Experience: You should have some knowledge and experience in some of the following topics:
- Space weather models and tools
- Machine learning, in particular, time series forecasting
- Excellent programming skills
The candidate should have the following general aptitudes:
- Strong team working and interpersonal skills
- Pragmatic, result-oriented
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
The position holder will be required to perform the following tasks:
- Carrying out research in the predefined areas
- Disseminating results through scientific publications
- Assisting in the organization of relevant events and workshops
Qualification: A MSc. degree or equivalent in Computer Science
Programming Skills: Python mandatory. Experience with Java, Matlab, LabView, or another programming language is an asset
Language Skills: Fluent written and verbal communication skills in English are required
