[visionlist] PostDoc position in Adaptive optics control for retinal imaging

[Kulcsar Caroline]

A postdoctoral position is available at L2TI-University Paris 13 and 
ONERA-Chatillon, Paris area, France

Subject: Study of advanced control laws for an adaptive optics system in 
retinal imaging

Beginning: as soon as possible
End: January 2012
Duration: about 24 months
Laboratory: L2TI, université Paris 13
Supervisors: Henri-François Raynaud, Caroline Kulcsár
Co-supervisors ONERA:Jean-Marc Conan, Serge Meimon
Funding: ANR iPhot project
Location: Villetaneuse, 93430

The successful post- doct candidate will study the physical modelisation 
of the different elements entering a prototype of AO system for retinal 
imaging which has been developped by Imagine Eyes. One of these 
prototypes is routinely used in clinical environment at Hopital des 
Quinze-Vingts in Paris.

She/he will identify critical factors that limit performance of 
closed-loop control, and will propose adequate solutions. These 
solutions will be validated in simulation using a simulator developped 
by ONERA-DOTA, and then on the Imagine Eyes prototype. The last 
validation step will be done in clinical environnement.

Previous work lead by L2TI (pupil movement modelisation), Imagine Eyes 
(deformable mirror's (DM's) dynamics) and DOTA-ONERA (modelisation and 
simulation of the system) have highlighted already two important axis 
for control improvement: pupil movement and DM's dynamic, that should be 
integrated in the control design.


The ideal candidate will have a PhD in control engineering and/or signal 
processing with background in optics instrumentation (preferably with 
good knowledge in high resolution imaging), and a master or engineer 
diploma with knowledge in control system/signal processing.
