Two PhD scholarships are available within the Joint Doctoral Programme in Interactive and Cognitive Environments (JD ICE) that is a PhD programme organised by the Department of Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications Engineering and Naval Architecture at University of Genoa ( http://www.isip40.it/) and the Centre for Intelligent Sensing at Queen Mary University of London ( http://cis.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/).

General Information

Applications are invited for 2 PhD open position.

JD ICE provides PhD training in the fields of multimedia signal processing, data fusion, computer vision, cognitive dynamic systems and machine learning, and offers advanced research projects designed for ambitious students willing to become word-leading researchers. PhD students will benefit from a joint-supervision model and will spend part of their PhD programme in the London, UK and part in Genoa, Italy.
The ISIP40 group, active in the DITEN department in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Genoa has focused its attention mostly on:

• Cognitive Dynamic Systems
• Multisensor Signal Processing for Surveillance
• Software and Cognitive Radio
• Bayesian Object and Situation assessment
• Interactive and Cognitive Environments

 

Open Positions for Ph.D. (Dottorato di Ricerca)

2 positions (3 years) starting at the beginning of November 2016; expiration date for first level applications: May 15th, 2016

Research Areas:

Dynamic Bayesian networks for heterogeneous signal processing for modeling, understanding and recognizing anomalous events in crowded environments
this research theme will study novel signal processing techniques based on probabilistic graphical models and dynamic Bayesian networks for understanding crowd dynamics and detecting potentially dangerous situations

Compressed sensing based approach for dynamic opportunistic transmission in cognitive radio devices
this research theme will study algorithms and methods based on compressed sensing theory as enabler for cognitive radio terminals for opportunistic spectrum usage to optimize transmission rate and external attack robustness
