PROPOSAL

Machine learning on optical fiber sensor data

Optical fiber is the backbone of the internet’s communication, e.g. in the form of submarine fiber cables. It can also be employed as a sensor device, by means of combined opto-acoustic methods such as Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) or State of Polarisation (SoP) sensing. Fiber is cabapble of sensing all kinds of vibrational/acoustic events, from animal sounds over seismic activity to …

PROPOSAL

Machine learning for acoustic/vibrational analysis of wooden building materials

For this project, you would be working with a partner company who are looking to re-establish wood as a building material for sustainable architecture, and thus are using sensors for quality control - to detect damages and deterioration in buildings. Wood such as timber may be analyzed by non-intrusive acoustic impact testing and subsequent waveform analysis, and the expectation is that machine …
