This Project has received funding from the EU’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie GA No 101119556.

Ph.D. position at the AGH University of Krakow (AGH, Poland)
for the IN-DEEP European Doctoral Network

Real-time inversion using self-explainable Deep Learning driven by expert knowledge

 

Reference number: DC8

PhD research topic:  Fast certified graph neural networks for parametric PDEs modelling flow-simulation in porous-fractured geological formations.

Host institution: AGH University of Krakow (AGH), Krakow, Poland

PhD Enrolment: AGH University of Krakow (AGH), Krakow, Poland

Main Supervisor: Maciej Paszynski, AGH University of Krakow, maciej.paszynski@agh.edu.pl

Co-supervisor: Sergio Gil López, Tecnalia, Bilbao, Spain, sergio.gil@tecnalia.com

Scientific tasks:

  1. Design fast numerical methods to generate reliable synthetic datasets for training Deep parametric PDE solvers.
  2. Develop explainable Graph Neural Networks architectures for parametric problems arising in flow simulation in porous fractured structures for geothermal applications.
  3. Apply the proposed method to identify the geological structures in a potential basin for underground H2 or CO2
