Organisation
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas :
• defence and security,
• nuclear energy (fission and fusion),
• technological research for industry,
• fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.
Drawing on its widely acknowledged expertise, and thanks to its 16000 technicians, engineers, researchers and staff, the CEA actively participates in collaborative projects with a large number of academic and industrial partners.
The CEA is established in ten centers spread throughout France

Job description
The proposed thesis focuses on the optimization of multimodal vision transformers (ViT) for panoptic object segmentation, exploring two main directions. The first is to develop a versatile fusion pipeline to integrate multimodal data (RGB, IR, depth, events, point clouds) by leveraging inter-modal alignment relationships. The second is to investigate an approach combining pruning and mixed-precision quantization. The overall goal is to design lightweight multimodal ViT models, tailored to the constraints of embedded systems, while optimizing their performance and reducing computational complexity.
