Duties/Project description
The Department of Information Technology is opening one PhD student position for a highly motivated individual interested in conducting outstanding research in the area of ultra-low power sensor-actuator networks.
50 billion devices are expected to be connected in 2020, many of these sensors and actuators. If these devices are battery-driven we will have huge problems with maintenance. In order to enable battery-free Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, IoT devices need ultra-low power consumption.
The Uppsala Networked Objects (UNO) group is investigating several technologies for low-power consumption including backscatter where sensing devices modulate their information on top of existing wireless signals. The task of this project is to apply these or related technologies in sensor-actuator networks by developing new protocols,new hardware designs and applying the technology in new exciting application domains such as sensor-actuator networks.
Requirements
The candidate should have a Master of Science in computer engineering, electrical engineering or equivalent, ideally with a strong background in hardware, low-level software and wireless communication. Experience with developing sensor node hardware, energy harvesting, backscatter or RFID is a plus.
The position is for at most five years, and includes department duties (mainly teaching) at a level of at most 20%, as well as course participation. Good English communication skills, both spoken and written, are required.
Application
The application should include a description of yourself, your research interests, reasons for applying for this particular PhD position and past experience (max.3 pages), a CV, copies of relevant university degrees and transcripts, relevant publications, a copy of your MSc thesis (or a summary in case the thesis is ongoing) and other relevant documents.
