List of supervisors

Winter 2025

In FCAI, we have over 70 professors who contribute to our joint research and can take part in the supervision. In the winter call 2025, we are primarily recruiting new researchers to the FCAI Teams, and the recruitments will be made to the groups of the professors who are participating in the FCAI Teams work. Please see FCAI Teams’ website to see which supervisors currently take part in each team.

Additionally, several professors are also looking for postdocs and PhD students to join their individual research projects; you can express your interest to also apply to the positions of individual research groups in your application.

You can find more information about each professors and their possible research openings following the links below:
