Offer Description

Accurate analysis and interpretation of meteorological data obtained through radar are fundamental for weather forecasting and monitoring severe weather events.

Radar images, especially those of the PPI (Plan Position Indicator) and SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) types, often present significant challenges that compromise their interpretation, including speckle noise, attenuation effects, altitude variations, and artifacts caused by atmospheric interference. Furthermore, the inherent complexity of different radar types and their specific configurations hinders the creation of generalizable solutions for processing these images.

This project proposes an innovative approach that combines state-of-the-art diffusion models with physical radar knowledge and advanced transfer learning techniques. The methodology incorporates fundamental radar wave propagation equations into the diffusion process, allowing for more accurate and physically consistent image restoration. The developed framework will be able to transfer knowledge between different radar types (PPI, SAR, Doppler) and adapt to different meteorological conditions through a continuous feedback system based on radar-specific metrics.

The selected candidate will carry out research at the Faculty of Sciences of the São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Bauru within the scope of the São Paulo Center for Data Integration for Monitoring Extreme Events (CePEX), one of the Science Centers for Development in the state of São Paulo (Brazil) supported by FAPESP, the São Paulo Research Foundation.

This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationality. The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP Post-Doctoral fellowship in the amount of R$ 12,570.00 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent on items directly related to the research activity.
