Generative AI models are being rapidly adopted in various domains due to their efficiency in synthesising knowledge. Specialised hardware and software frameworks may be needed for efficient training, fine-tuning and inference of future Gen AI models. Designing systems for future Generative AI workloads is a complex task that will involve testing new hypotheses and will require new studies. It will also require designing experiments such as benchmarking of system technologies (compute, network and storage).
We offer a fully-funded 4-year PhD position at the intersection between computer systems design and AI as part of a new initiative between IBM Research Europe and University College Dublin (UCD). The PhD project will be jointly supervised by Assistant Professor Dimitris Chatzopoulos (Dimitris Chatzopoulos) and the staff of the Next Generation Systems team at IBM Research Europe in Dublin.
The student selected will be employed by IBM for the duration of the PhD and be a registered student at UCD with the following benefits:
- Access to resources and expertise both at IBM Research and UCD
- Research experience in both private and public sectors
- A substantial PhD Salary (>40,000 euro)
- Full UCD PhD programme fees (EU or non-EU level) paid
In this Ph.D. programme you will create algorithms and tools to help design future systems for GenAI workloads. The research will focus on developing the algorithms and experiments required to sample and navigate a complex design space with multiple objectives, and applying them to find new GenAI system designs that optimize for various objectives for given workloads.
As part of this PhD program your responsibilities will include: fulfilling your obligation as a registered student of UCD, performing research work (state of the art evaluation, devising novel solutions, etc.), writing research papers, interacting with international teams at IBM and UCD, and prototyping ideas for evaluation and demonstration purposes.
