Arbetsbeskrivning

TeraWireless Project

Ranplan Group AB (RNP), is seeking to appoint a high-calibre doctoral candidate to join the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network 'Wireless Networks at Optical Speed with Deterministic Performance' (TeraWireless). The selected candidate will work under the supervision of Prof. Jie Zhang.

Specifically, TeraWirelss will:

1) put forth the innovative ultra-MIMO technology for increasing the data rate and link reliability through spatial multiplexing and super directive beamforming, and will pioneer the development of electromagnetic and communication models for evaluating its performance in low-scattering THz channels, where multipath propagation cannot be exploited, by integrating sensing, localization, communication capabilities;

2) leverage the emerging concept of semantic and goal-oriented communications by folding message semantics and goals of communication within communication layers;

3) develop innovative physics-based ML solutions for energy-efficient, robust, reliable, and explainable-by-design implementations;

4) make available to the research community the EU's and the world's first open-access and open-source simulation environment - integrating ray tracing, link-level, and system-level features - for evaluating and optimizing THz large-scale deterministic networks at optical speed.

Position title: RNP - Open-access THz channel measurement dataset and open-access/source ray tracing simulator

Objectives: Produce an open access dataset of THz channels measurements and develop a ray tracing module that supports THz signaling.

PhD enrolment: The selected applicant will be enrolled into a Ph.D. program at University of Piraeus Research Center, Greece while working on the project.

Location: Riddargarten 18, Floor 1, S-114 51, Stockholm, Sweden.

Working Time: Full-time

Duration: Fixed-term (3 years).

Salary: In agreement with the MSCA-DN financial regulations, including living, mobility, and family allowances.

Secondment: RNP will spend a research stay of 18 months at another partner of the TeraWireless project. The planned secondment for RNP is at University of Piraeus Research Center.
