We are looking for a PhD candidate to be part of the Research team of the ERC Consolidator DEMODRIVERS. The selected candidate will carry out research on automatic identification of phytoliths using artificial intelligence and digital microscopy. The research goals include: 1) establishing the best strategy for phytoliths identification; 2) train and test deep learning algorithms; 3) identify neotropical phytoliths on samples extracted from archaeological sites and paleosol. Phytoliths are biogenic silica bodies that can be used to reconstruct past use of plants.
