This posting is for a research assistant in the research group on Connectivity. You will be working a project researching physical layer digital twin systems for integrated sensing and ultra-reliable communications.

Tasks:
Development a measurement platform to measure wideband channel responses between multiple ultra wideband tags and integrating information extracted from measurements into a physical layer digital twin system capable of assisting an integrated sensing and communication system by supplying propagation characteristics, geometric information, and estimates of statistical properties for ultra reliability.

Requirements:

• Profiency in communicating and writing scientific papers in English.
• Programming experience in python and C++.
• Familiarity with developing software for the line of UWB chips from Quorvo.

Experience with the following areas is an advantage:

• Prediction of channel statistics for ultra reliability.
• Localization using radio frequency signals.
• Physical layer digital twin system.
• Physical layer modelling of antenna systems and wireless communication channels.
• Machine learning and optimization.

The research group on connectivity works on concepts for communication and networking in wireless systems, such as the emerging 6G technology, but also in a broader sense, using the methods of communication theory. The research activities are organized in six groups:

• Interplay of Machine Learning(ML) and communications, dealing with the questions how ML and foundational models are changing the communication protocols.
• Low-latency and time-constrained communication
• Satellite Communications and Non-Terrestrial Networks
• Integrated Communication and Sensing
• Experimental work on Open Radio Access Networks(O-RAN)
• Quantum communications
