Opportunity
Postgraduate Research Opportunity at the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Laboratory
Award Info:
This opportunity is open until filled, and is located in Atlantic City, NJ. As a participant with TSL, you will receive a stipend starting at $80,000, Health Insurance Allowance, and Relocation Allowance up to $2,000.
Description:
You will join a cohort of post-graduates in a new endeavor in threat detection technology and applied research, specifically related to synthetic data generation, testing and evaluation. The project involves a team of TSL staff and researchers focused on a two-fold approach involving x-ray and millimeter wave regimes. The first component involves creating synthetic signatures of prohibited materials from laboratory computed tomography (CT) data, and inserting these into acquired CT images of passenger baggage. The second component will use millimeter wave data of actual threats to create synthetic images of personnel with threats for analysis.
