Project description

Third-cycle subject: Electrical Engineering

This research project aims to develop novel theory and methodology for machine learning and optimal decision-making in future networks and computing infrastructures. We will explore how machine learning algorithms and computing systems can be enhanced and re-imagined for unprecedented accuracy, efficiency, and scalability. The project combines fundamental theory development with practical software design.

The successful candidate will join a dynamic research team that works on fundamental theory, practical algorithms, and applications. We have a strong network of contacts in academia and industry that allows us to blend curiosity-driven research with meaningful collaborations, and to translate theoretical insights into real-world solutions.
