Title

PhD Stilling in Efficient Test-Time Model Adaptation in Dynamic Edge Environments

Overview

Applicants are invited for a fully funded PhD fellowship at the Graduate School of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University, Danmark, within the Electrical and Computer Engineering programme. The successful candidate will join the A3 Lab – Adaptive & Agentic AI, supervised by Dr. Behzad Bozorgtabar and co‑supervised by Prof. Qi Zhang. The Stilling is available from 01 November 2026 or later.

Research Vision and Objectives

Deploying models in edge environments requires balancing model complexity with environmental volatility. Real‑world edge data streams face continuous domain shifts, causing brittle AI models. This PhD will develop a high‑performance, low‑latency framework for Test‑Time Adaptation (TTA) to maintain model reliability on the edge. The research focuses on:

  • Autonomous monitoring of distribution shifts and model uncertainty across heterogeneous data types.
  • On‑the‑fly, lightweight adaptation algorithms for strict latency and computational constraints.
  • Balancing adaptation accuracy, energy efficiency, and real‑time execution.
Responsibilities

Design and implement autonomous architectures for monitoring and maintaining the reliability of unimodal and multimodal foundation models in real time; develop and evaluate lightweight TTA algorithms; balance trade‑offs between accuracy, efficiency, and real‑time constraints; publish results at top‑tier machine learning venues; validate research on state‑of‑the‑art edge computing testbeds.

Qualifications

Applicants must hold a master’s degree (120 ECTS) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, or a related quantitative field. Desired technical and research competencies include:

  • Advanced proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch.
  • Strong foundation in machine learning and/or computer vision, with a specific interest in test‑time adaptation, autonomous AI systems, and edge intelligence.
  • Familiarity with modern neural networks and edge‑specific model compression techniques (knowledge distillation, lightweight design, parameter‑efficient fine‑tuning).
  • Mindset for reproducibility, open‑source contribution, and cross‑disciplinary collaboration.
Lokation

Aarhus University, Adaptive & Agentic AI (A3) Lab, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University, Danmark.

EEO Statement

Aarhus University’s ambition is to be an attractive and inspiring workplace for all. We view equality and diversity as assets and welcome all applicants regardless of personal background.
