The Challenge

Electron Microscopy is a foundational technology in Life Sciences. However, interpreting sophisticated microscopic images, for improving quality or gey insights, still requires significant human expertise. With the rise of multimodal AI models—particularly Vision-Language Models (VLMs) such as CLIP, BLIP, Lora, LLaVA—there is growing potential to automate, accelerate, and improve image understanding using AI.

This internship strives to fine-tuning pre-trained local vision-language models to better understand and interpret microscopy images and explore pattern for autonomous instruments based on Generative AI.

Key responsibilities

• Contribute to innovation by supporting engineers in exploring new technologies
• Stay current with state-of-the-art vision-language models and their application
• Build a proof-of-concept demo or interface showcasing model capabilities in interpreting microscopy images.
• Collaborate with domain experts to collect feedback and guide model improvements.
• Prepare presentations and reports summarizing key learnings, results, and potential impact on microscopy workflows.

Desired qualifications

• Background in AI and LLM domain
• Result oriented, curious and hands-on
• Strong sense of ownership
• Eager to learn
