[Postdoc] Multimodal & Continual Learning for Real-World Clinical AI (Emory / Georgia Tech)

[Hyeokhyen Kwon]

Hi all, 

The interdisciplinary team at Emory University and Georgia Tech is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in Machine Learning and Multimodal AI.

We are seeking a researcher interested in developing novel multimodal, continual, and human-in-the-loop learning methods for real-world healthcare applications, with a particular focus on understanding human movement and Parkinson’s disease.

Our team brings together researchers across Biomedical Informatics, Biomedical Engineering, Neurology, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Machine Learning. The fellow will work with Hyeok Kwon (PI, VITAL Lab) and an interdisciplinary team of ML, engineering, and clinical collaborators.

Research directions include:

• Multimodal machine learning from video, sensor, behavioral, and clinical data
• Computer vision and human activity/movement recognition for Parkinson’s disease
• Continual learning, adaptation, and clinician-in-the-loop learning for evolving real-world data
• Learning and inference under distribution shifts and heterogeneous multimodal data
• Translation of ML methods to mobile, edge, and cloud AI systems deployed in clinical environments

The position provides an opportunity to work on fundamental machine learning problems while evaluating new methods using real-world longitudinal clinical data and deployments in Emory Movement Disorders clinics.

We welcome candidates with strong backgrounds in machine learning, multimodal learning, computer vision, representation learning, continual/test-time learning, human activity recognition, ubiquitous computing, or related areas.

The position is supported by a five-year NIH R01-funded study (https://reporter.nih.gov/search/xVlknvaiXkeJCod3gizSLw/project-details/11450678).
