Public Sector, Education & Impact (employer-sector evidence). DTU Management invites applications for a 3-year PhD scholarship associated with the project “Brains in Motion:

Explaining How Humans Learn and Adapt to Navigate Urban Environments Using Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience.” The PhD project will be carried out at the Department of Technology, Management and Economics (DTU Management) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), in close collaboration with Imperial College London and the new DTU Smart Sensing Lab.

The project is supervised by Associate Professor Rico Krueger and co-supervised by Associate Professor Carlos L.
