hela Sverige Luleå University of Technology is in strong growth with world-leading competence in several research areas. We shape the future through innovative education and ground-breaking research results, and based on the Arctic region, we create global social benefit. Our scientific and artistic research and education are conducted in close collaboration with international, national and regional companies, public actors and leading universities. Luleå University of Technology has a total turnover of SEK 2 billion per year. We currently have 1,500 employees and 17,900 students.
In the coming years, multi-billion investments will be made in large projects in Northern Sweden to create a fossil-free society both nationally and globally. Luleå University of Technology is involved in several of these cutting-edge research projects and in the societal transformation that they entail. We offer a broad range of courses and study programmes to match the skills in demand. We hope that you will help us to build the sustainable companies and societies of the future.The EISLAB division of the Department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineering conducts research within Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things, Systems-of-Systems automation, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Data Science, Electronic systems design, and sensor systems.
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) focuses on integrated software and application architectures with implementations of massively distributed embedded systems that interact with each other and their environment to enable secure, goal-driven, autonomous and evolvable solutions.
This includes software-defined SoS for the automation and digitalization in production industries. Our research is conducted in close collaboration with industries such as Bosch, Ericsson, Volvo, Infineon, Boliden, LKAB, SKF, and leading international universities. A major result is the Eclipse Arrowhead, an open-source software framework for industrial automation widely supported by European industry.
Subject description
Cyber-Physical Systems encompass integrated software, electronics hardware, and application architecture within connected devices and distributed systems. The research aims to create secure, autonomous and developable solutions that interact with each other and their surroundings, from the edge to the cloud.
Project description
For this position, you will be working as part of a team of researchers in an European project. As a main topic, you will perform your research in one of these areas:
• Data model translation, to enable the automatization of the engineering process.
• Machine learning code generation for autonomous translation of payload data semantics.
• Dictionary learning and algorithms for translation between major data modeling languages.
• Model-based System Engineering (UML, SysML, metamodels) usage to model the major data modeling languages.
The projects aim to further digitalize the European industry, where EISLAB will be responsible for the CPS intelligence, IoT, and SoS automation architecture and the use of AI and Machine Learning (ML). Targeted results include academic papers and contributions with open-source code for the Eclipse Arrowhead.
Projects typically involve working with both academic and industrial partners in Europe. Hence, collaboration with the software and automation industry in the form of both future product owners and users is a key factor to the success of these projects. In this, you will work closely with other LTU researchers and doctoral students.
Duties
As a PhD student, you work towards a Doctoral degree as the final goal. The work will address the objectives of the Higher Education Ordinance. Most of your time will be devoted to working on research projects in which you will develop proofs-of-concept to experimentally evaluate and explore aspects of industrial software systems and components. You will present your results at international conferences and in scientific journals.
To support your dissertation work, you will take courses in the form of third-cycle studies introduction, generic courses for LTU PhD program, specially designed courses, etc. Your research and coursework will be planned and recorded in your individual study plan throughout your progress. In addition, teaching and other departmental duties at the division or department exist for graduate students.
Qualifications
We are looking for You - a talented, analytical and motivated colleague who, both alone and in collaboration with others, can carry out advanced research in our research group. The necessary background for applicants is a master's degree in preferably Computer Science. Also, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or equivalent will be considered.
The applicant must be proficient in Computer Science. Previous experience of working with SOA, IoT, SysML, ML, CPS and/or SoS is valuable but not a requirement. The applicant must also have good programming skills, including software design, basic programming concepts, and experience in Java programming or similar. Fluency in oral and written communication in English is a requirement.
