The SigCom research group carries out research activities in the areas of signal processing for wireless communication systems including satellite communications and radar systems and is currently expanding its research activities in exploring several emerging use cases of next generation wireless communications systems. For details, you may refer to the following:

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.

The position holder will be required to perform the following tasks

  • Contribute to the BrainSat project by
    • Defining promising use-cases for the AI/ML neuromorphic model application
    • Generating / obtaining training data (e.g. using SIGCOM tools such as SW simulators)
    • Running data analytics, neuromorphic models Training and Testing & comparison with non-neuromorphic models
    • Implementation and comparison in neuromorphic and non-neuromorphic hardware
    • Participating in outreach events related to general AI, inspiring young generations to be interested in AI-related topics
  • Attend and contribute to the project meetings with SES
  • Disseminate results through scientific publications
  • Present results in well-known international conferences and workshops

Your Profile

Qualification: The candidate should possess an M.Sc./M.Eng. Degree in Telecommunication Engineering, signal processing, or a closely related field in Electronic, Electrical and Computer Engineering

Experience: The ideal candidate should have a strong background in wireless communication. In addition, a background and interest in a number of the following areas is required

  • Wireless and mobile communications. Background on Non terrestrial communications is considered a plus
    • Knowledge of terrestrial wireless radio resource optimization techniques is considered an advantage
  • Mathematical Tools: The candidate should have knowledge in a number of the following tools used for the analysis and optimization of communication networks
    • Convex/non-convex optimization
    • Machine learning: supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning considered a plus
    • Signal processing
  • Programming skills in MATLAB are required, and is considered an advantage in Python
  • Good oral presentation skills: The candidate will be required to present and defend his/her work in front of wide audience of experts

Language Skills: Fluent written and verbal communication skills in English are required
