Real-time radio channel prediction using machine learning accelerated GPU ray-launching
Understanding the radio frequency (RF) channel is essential for wireless communications. In complex, non-line of sight environments, such as dense urban, the RF propagation channel is dominated by multiple reflections, scattering and diffraction. Read more
3D printing of micro-features for high frequency RF applications
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
Applicants are invited to apply for a fully funded PhD programme to investigate additive manufacturing of micro-structures for high frequency RF applications. Read more
Applications of 5G based Passive Sensing
With the rise of “smart” devices and Internet of Things (IoT), modern and future wireless communication technologies, such as 5G, are moving to higher bands in the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, previously reserved for sensing applications. Read more
Advanced Imaging algorithms for distributed spaceborne SAR
Usually, Synthetic Aperture Radars have been deployed on a single platform with the transmitter and the receiver co-located, thus providing a relatively simpler sensor configuration when compared with the case of distributed transmitters and receivers. Read more
Transmission Channels Measurements for Future mmWave Communications
Funded Doctoral Studentship in Electronic Engineering, Department of Engineering, Durham University. Read more
Robust Formation Control for a Cooperative Set of UAVs - GREENCDT
A fully-funded PhD studentship is available for an outstanding graduate with specific interest on robotics, control as well as image processing techniques. Read more
5G-IoT in the fight against Auto-immune diseases
The empowerment of patients and their formal and informal carers has become a prime target of healthcare strategy development in Europe and elsewhere. Read more
Quality assessment for light-field imaging
Among the recent media modalities enabling better immersive viewing experiences for the end-users, light field (LF) imaging is emerging. Read more
Novel compression strategies for emerging visualisation modalities for smart cities and immersive environments
Neuromorphic vision sensors enable the acquisition of scenes with limited energy requirements and low data rate, only acquiring information on what changes in the scene, with a behaviour similar to the one of the human eye. Read more
Transmitter optimization techniques for physical layer security
Physical layer security has been recently recognized as a promising new design paradigm to provide security in wireless networks in addition to the existing conventional cryptographic methods, where physical layer dynamics of fading channels are exploited to establish secured wireless links.
