IITiS PAN is offering an assistant position in the Security, Modelling and Performance Evaluation Group. The successful candidate will participate in research on the security and robustness of machine learning systems, with particular emphasis on adversarial attacks, defence methods, and vulnerability analysis of machine learning models.
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) formulate the solution of partial differential equations as residual minimization problems over neural network parameterizations. Although highly flexible, optimization of PINNs using modern variants of Stochastic Gradient Descent algorithms is expensive. On the other hand, iterative computation of PINN parameterization using the Gauss-Newton method suffers from convergence difficulties, dense Jacobian structures, and poor conditioning that limit the effectiveness of second-order optimization methods.
Electric vehicle charging stations are often constrained by the number of available chargers and waiting spaces. As demand increases, users may experience waiting, blocking, or abandonment, which can reduce the quality of service. This project develops a continuous-time Markov chain model for evaluating the performance of a finite-capacity EV charging station with Erlang-2 charging service and phase-type customer impatience.

The Institute has joined a research collaboration focused on the development of artificial intelligence-based data processing techniques. A letter of intent formalizing this cooperation was signed on November 24, 2025, by eight universities and research institutions.
The goal of the SPACEPORT-AI initiative is to bring together experts interested in jointly developing and testing modern methods for effective data processing using the latest technological advances in the field of artificial intelligence.
We recommend an interview with Professor Erol Gelenbe entitled “Prof. Gelenbe on AI Without Illusions: Half a Century of Research and Its Consequences”, published by Academia PAN.
Our Institute has been awarded three new EU Projects, including two funded under the Horizon Europe programme for three years: PACK and Q-FENCE, and a third: Doctoral Networks project SAILING, awarded for four years under the EU Marie Curie-Sklodowska research excellence programme. These projects are carried out in cooperation with numerous partners from across Europe and address key scientific, technological and societal challenges.
