A Fully-Funded PhD Studentship Communications and Information Systems Research Group UCL Department Of Electrical And Electronic Engineering

*(subject to agreement, starting date: January 2008)*

We wish to recruit a PhD student to work with Dr Yang Yang on a joint Toshiba Research Europe and UCL project focussing on the development of future intelligent self-configuring wireless networks. This research project will apply cognitive radio, machine learning, and biological inspired techniques to enable wireless networks have the capability of learning, reasoning, analysing and adjusting system parameters across different network layers, in order to achieve network self-organisation and optimal performance. Our research methodologies will involve algorithm development, performance evaluation, computer simulation and, if possible, testbed experiments.

Applicants are required to have an MSc degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or a related field, good knowledge of communication networks, sound analytical skills and programming skills (e.g. NS2, Matlab, C/C++, or Java), and effective written and verbal communication skills. It is desirable that the applications have some R&D experience in cognitive radio, machine learning, radio resource management, MAC protocols, traffic analysis or wireless QoS. A good track record of publications is a plus, but not a necessary requirement.

This PhD studentship is tax-free and is for three years (Jan 2008 - Jan 2011). It will cover the UCL tuition fees (up to 16K pounds per annum for an overseas student) and a stipend of around 1200 pounds per month to cover the student's living expenses in London.

*The following is a broad outline of the main duties and responsibilities:
• Design and analyse novel intelligent algorithms for self-organised wireless networks.
• Develop a simulation platform for performance evaluation.
• Prepare progress reports on research ideas and results for Toshiba.
• Contribute to the drafting and submitting of papers to appropriate peer reviewed journals.
• Contribute to the overall activities of the research team and department as required.

Way 1 : from Blok M change the bus in Dukuh Atas bus stop to the bus towards Pulogadung, then take a bus in Pramuka bus stop towards Ancol, this bus pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. The closest bus stop (Budi Utomo) is about 800 meters from Gedung Balai .
Way 2 : From Blok M take the bus in the Harmoni Bus Stop, the bus towards Pulogadung, get down in Senen Bus Stop and walk about 800 meters, or from this bus stop take the bus towards Ancol and get down as mentioned in way 1. About the distance, this two bus stops is about the same. (It is better if you take ojek or bajaj from this bus stop to Gedung Balai Pustaka)

3. If you take taxi with old tariff (TL=Tarif Lama) from blok M with no traffic jam is about Rp. 30.000,00.

4. From Blok M use bus Patas AC 76. Gedung Balai Pustaka is in the right side, after you pass through Depag, and say to conductor "Balai Pustaka"

5. Use a busway from Blok M towards Kota, get down in Sawah Besar bus stop. From here take a Mikrolet M12 towards Senen. After cross road Wahidin and before senen get down and cross the street.
