Opis zadań:

Description of duties:
The student’s aim will be to develop and apply machine learning methods for advanced Quantum Optical Coherence Tomography (Q-OCT) systems, in particular for Fourier-domain Quantum OCT (Fd-Q-OCT) and Swept Source Quantum OCT (SS-Q-OCT). The student will work on the
development, optimisation, training, and validation of neural network architectures for the removal of artefacts and dispersion effects from QOCT
signals, as well as on methods for improving image resolution. The research will also include the preparation of realistic training datasets based on experimental and simulated data, development of automated training-data generation methods, and testing of machine learning models on experimental Q-OCT signals.

Tasks:
- Development and optimization of machine learning methods for processing Quantum OCT (Q-OCT) signals.
- Design, training, and testing of neural network architectures for artefact and dispersion removal in Fd-Q-OCT and SS-Q-OCT systems.
- Preparation and generation of training datasets based on experimental and simulated Q-OCT data.
- Development of automated methods for generating training data from experimentally acquired joint spectra.
- Validation of machine learning models on experimental Q-OCT signals.
- Development of neural-network-based methods for improving the resolution of Q-OCT images.
