The University of Luxembourg is seeking to hire a highly motivated and an outstanding researcher in the area of optimization performance of interference-limited wireless communication systems for its Interdisciplinary Centre of Security and Trust (SnT), within the Signal Processing and Communications (SigCom) research group, led by Prof. Björn Ottersten and Dr. Symeon Chatzinotas.
We're looking for people driven by excellence, excited about innovation, and looking to make a difference. If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place!
Your Role
The PhD position is related to a new national project entitled BrainSat. The project focuses on integrating neuromorphic computing technologies into satellite communications to address the inefficiencies of current SatCom systems, which are characterized by high latency and power consumption. By deploying neuromorphic processors that emulate the functionality of the human brain, the project aims to drastically reduce energy requirements by up to 100,000 times compared to traditional computing. This reduction enables enhanced on-board processing capabilities for real-time data handling and autonomous operations, improving operational responsiveness and quality of service (QoS). Incorporating AI and machine learning algorithms, the neuromorphic processors will enable advanced predictive analytics and adaptive decision-making capabilities, further optimizing satellite performance.
