Faculty of Science
The
University of Amsterdam is the Netherlands' largest university, offering the widest range of academic programmes. At the UvA, 30,000 students, 6,000 staff members and 3,000 PhD candidates study and work in a diverse range of fields, connected by a culture of curiosity.
The
Faculty of Science has a student body of around 8,000, as well as 1,800 members of staff working in education, research or support services. Researchers and students at the Faculty of Science are fascinated by every aspect of how the world works, be it elementary particles, the birth of the universe or the functioning of the brain.
The mission of the
Informatics Institute (IvI) is to perform curiosity-driven and use-inspired fundamental research in Computer Science. The main research themes are Artificial Intelligence, Computational Science and Systems and Network Engineering. Our research involves complex information systems at large, with a focus on collaborative, data driven, computational and intelligent systems, all with a strong interactive component.
The
Video & Image Sense lab (VIS) studies computer vision, deep learning and cognitive science, making sense of video and images with artificial and human intelligence. It positions itself within the AI research theme, with clear links to the
Data Science theme of the Informatics Institute.
The VIS Lab is strongly embedded in the larger UvA and Amsterdam artificial intelligence ecosystem with connections to multiple public-private
Innovation Centres for AI (ICAI) labs and spin-off's including Kepler Vision Technologies and Ellogon.ai.
The
Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) is among the top 10 comprehensive cancer centers, combining world-class fundamental, translational, and clinical research with dedicated patient care. Approximately 750 persons are employed in the research laboratories of NKI. Discussions, lectures and seminars are all in English and a multi-national community of postdocs, students and staff members contribute to the stimulating atmosphere of the Institute. We offer an inspiring and interactive research environment, state-of-the-art facilities, training and housing facilities in the vicinity of the Institute.
The
Partnership for Online Personalized AI-driven Adaptive Radiation Therapy (ICAI/POP-AART) is a public-private collaboration between The Netherlands Cancer Institute, the University of Amsterdam and Elekta. The lab focuses on the use of artificial intelligence for precision radiotherapy.
Within the POP-AART lab six PhD researchers develop novel AI strategies for improving radiation treatment. These involve deep learning and incorporating data in online and automated treatment plan optimization.
