Doctoral student in mobile wireless sub-THz MIMO communication for 7G
Doctoral student in mobile wireless sub-THz MIMO communication for 7G
at
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
in Stockholm, Sweden.
This PhD project sits at the frontier of next-generation wireless communications, focusing on theory formation for mobile sub-terahertz (sub-THz) and terahertz (THz) systems for 6G, 7G and beyond. The work is centered on the physical layer and MAC layer, with room to adapt research directions to the applicant’s interests.
Potential research areas include physically large antenna arrays, near-field THz communications, movable antennas, intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs), joint THz communication and wireless sensing (ISAC), massive and distributed MIMO at sub-THz frequencies, and THz communications for satellite networks. The project draws on probability theory, communication theory, electromagnetics, optimization, and machine learning.
The position is explicitly described as
fully funded
, with salary according to KTH’s doctoral student salary agreement. The results are expected to lead to top-level journal publications and support a future research career in academia or industry.
Supervision is provided by
Assistant Professor Vitaly Petrov
and
Professor Emil Björnsson
. The vacancy is for a doctoral degree, and only applicants who meet the postgraduate admission requirements may be employed as doctoral students at KTH.
