About this position
This postdoctoral position is part of Aalto University’s Cloud and Network Computing group and focuses on research at the intersection of multimodal large language models and networking. The successful researcher will define and lead an independent agenda in areas such as semantic and context-aware networking, resource management in edge computing systems, and AI-native network control.
A substantial part of the work involves designing and building realistic simulation environments to generate data, evaluate algorithms, and study network behavior under dynamic conditions. The project is framed by an NSF–RCF joint project with a public-safety communications context, creating opportunities to connect fundamental network research with real-world societal needs.
The role is embedded in a research group headed by assistant professor Gopika Premsankar, whose group works on networked systems with an emphasis on lowering environmental footprint while improving performance and reliability. The position also involves close collaboration with the PI and international collaborators, including opportunities linked to visiting collaborators at North Carolina State University and Penn State University.
The researcher is expected to contribute strongly to the group’s research output, mentor PhD and master’s students, and help advance an independent research profile in a highly collaborative environment. Aalto University highlights its hybrid working style and the research setting at the Otaniemi campus in Espoo, Finland.
