Current Recruitment

Here you will find ongoing recruitment information for research based programs [MSc (thesis) and PhD]. For additional info, please contact the lead investigators directly.

The Data and Image Analysis Group (DIAG) at Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) is seeking applications for fully funded PhD positions in medical image analysis. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research on neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and retinal diseases by developing outcome prediction models using multimodal neuroimaging, whole-body CT, and retinal OCT imaging.

Next-generation cloud computing and AI are mutually reinforcing engines for the digital economy. Cloud provides the scalable, accessible foundation enabling AI development and deployment, while AI drives demand for advanced cloud capabilities. However, challenges exist: AI techniques (often from CV/NLP) face overhead and performance issues in network optimization, and cloud infrastructure lacks inherent AI-specific optimization. This research focuses on revitalizing both cloud networks and AI techniques through their judicious integration to overcome these challenges.

My general research area is Software Engineering. In particular, my main research focuses on improving (AI) software performance and developing fast and efficient software in fast-paced development and release practices (e.g., DevOps). My detailed research interests include software performance engineering, web GUI testing, and AI software system quality.

I am currently seeking highly self-motivated Ph.D. and Master's students (fully funded) to work with me. More details can be found on my research page https://www.cs.mun.ca/~lliao.
