You will join the TSL in a new endeavor in threat detection technology and applied research, specifically related to synthetic data generation. The need to develop synthetic methods to evaluate new Deep Learning algorithms is paramount and the proposed research is new and innovative. The project involves a team of TSL staff and researchers focused on a two-fold approach involving x-ray and millimeter wave regimes looking at threat components in passenger baggage and personnel. The goal of the research is the generation and validation of synthetic data based on the operational characteristics of x-ray computed tomography and active millimeter wave imaging of personnel. The program is seeking recent graduates that have experience in modeling and large data sets and have a foundational knowledge of the physics or engineering applicable in learning to create high-fidelity synthetic data.
