About the Project

Blockchain technology is being considered as a solution to a plethora of problems in communications. These proposals aim to leverage the distributed record-keeping and collaborative decision-making features offered by the blockchain and smart contract technologies to address the emerging area of trust-less ecosystems. However, state of the art often overlooks the deployment considerations such as blockchain infrastructure cost and use case-specific performance requirements and scalability. This project aims to investigate a more in-depth perspective into the deployment consideration of blockchain-based solutions for telecommunications networks.

Entry requirements:

Candidates should have (or expect to obtain) a minimum of a UK upper second class honours degree (2.1) or equivalent in Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics or a closely related subject.

How to apply:
