About this position
Linköping University is seeking a PhD student in communication systems at the Department of Electrical Engineering (ISY), within the Division of Communication Systems.
The doctoral project investigates distributed and cooperative computing, learning, and inference over satellite networks. The research will develop communication-efficient distributed algorithms that address dynamic network topologies, intermittent connectivity, and limited communication and computing resources. The work lies at the intersection of satellite communications, decentralized machine learning, distributed systems, and networked inference.
The PhD student will devote most of their time to doctoral studies and the research projects of the division. The role may also include teaching or other departmental duties. The research environment covers communications engineering, statistical signal processing, network science, and decentralized machine learning, providing an interdisciplinary setting for advanced work on communication-constrained learning and computation.
The project is hosted at Linköping University in Sweden, with Zheng Chen, Associate Professor, listed as a contact person for the position.
