It took a year for public-health guidance to converge on the fact that COVID-19 mostly spreads through the air and rarely through contaminated surfaces. The confusion was spawned in part by just one number: 5 micrometres. That’s the size that — according to outdated guidance — separates aerosols, which linger in the air, and droplets, which fall onto surfaces. Another problem: the divide between engineers and physicists, who study aerosols, and physicians, who worry about pathogens. As the pandemic raged, a small group of scientists fought to trace the poorly documented origins of the 5-micrometre fallacy, overcome the chasm between disciplines and change our understanding of how respiratory diseases spread.

💰#PhD Researcher in Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence
KU Leuven, Belgium, Leuven

As a doctoral researcher, you will carry out strategic basic research at the intersection of linguistics and artificial intelligence, with possible applications in the domain of educational technology. Your research project will be situated within a larger research track that focuses on building intelligent systems that are able to learn to perceive, reason about, and interact with their environment using natural language. Your research project is also embedded in imec's research program on Smart Education, in which you will interact with researchers from itec, University of Ghent, VUB and imec, and its industrial and societal partners.
