**SnT** is a leading **international research and innovation centre** in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services. We play an instrumental role in Luxembourg by fueling innovation through research partnerships with industry, boosting R&D investments leading to economic growth, and attracting highly qualified talent.

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
- 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**:

- 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
- 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

**Language Skills**:Fluentwritten and verbal communication skills in English are required

**Here’s what awaits you at SnT**:

- **A stimulating learning environment.** Here post-docs and professors outnumber PhD students. That translates into access and close collaborations with some of the brightest ICT researchers, giving you solid guidance
- **Exciting infrastructures and unique labs.** At SnT’s two campuses, our researchers can take a walk on the moon at the LunaLab, build a nanosatellite, or help make autonomous vehicles even better
- **The right place for IMPACT. **SnT researchers engage in demand-driven projects. Through our Partnership Programme, we work on projects with more than 55 industry partners
- **Multiple funding sources for your ideas**. The University supports researchers to acquire funding from national, European and private sources
