PhD position in “Context‑aware and Data‑efficient Artificial Intelligence for Insect Monitoring in Agriculture”

The MeBioS (Mechatronics, Biostatistics and Sensors) division at KU Leuven is a dynamic, multidisciplinary research group at the interface of agriculture, sensing technologies, and artificial intelligence. Our research focuses on turning complex biological and environmental data into actionable insights for sustainable production systems. Within MeBioS, the Biophotonics group designs and deploys advanced sensing systems, including imaging and optical technologies, and develops datadriven and AIbased methods to support monitoring, prediction and decisionmaking. A strong focus lies on applications in the agrifood sector, where we closely collaborate with practice centres, technology providers and industry partners.
AI plays an increasingly central role in our research, particularly for automated monitoring, contextaware prediction, and efficient model maintenance in realworld environments. In the INTEGRAI project, MeBioS coordinates a multipartner initiative that aims to move beyo...
