We offer a very challenging full-time position in an inspiring, flexible, and very dynamic environment. You will join a young and enthusiastic team of developers, researchers, post-docs, and professors. You will receive a competitive salary.
Research area
Novel ultra-high throughput and ultra-low latency applications in various application domains such as extended reality (XR), the Internet of Everything, autonomous vehicles and cybersecurity, require fundamental changes to networking architectures and integration with computational resources in the cloud-edge continuum.
To support such services, the 6G ecosystem must envision an end-to-end, cloud-native architecture that provides unified and distributed orchestration and management strategies, while taking interoperability, security and privacy aspects into account. The decentralized AI-based framework that enforces these policies should consist of independent, cooperating entities able to adapt adequately to both local and global context changes.
In this project, the candidate will work on solutions for resource management over 6G networks, on topics that include (but are not limited to) the following:
• End-to-end resource orchestration in support of Quality-of-Experience optimization;
• Machine learning mechanisms for increased automation and reliability;
• Efficient and dynamic placement of network functions and service function chains;
• Integration of novel networking paradigms for routing, intent-based communication and Quality-of-Service enforcement;
• Distributed and federated solutions for cross-domain and cross-provider management of storage, computing and network resources;
• Proof-of-concept system realization for container-based applications in a European-scale testbed.
Responsibilities
• Conducting research in the context of national and European research projects
• Implementing novel AI techniques for resource orchestration in next-generation networks
• Planning and conducting well-designed simulation and emulation experiments on our Virtual Wall infrastructure and on imec’s technical lab
• Performing statistical analysis and interpretation of results
• Presenting results and findings at international conferences and in scientific journals
Research group and timing
The candidate will be supervised by Prof. Filip De Turck and work at IDLab, a core research group at the Department of Information Technology, Ghent University. Our group performs fundamental and applied research on data science and Internet technology, and is, with close to 500 researchers, one of the larger research groups at imec. Imec, in its turn, is the world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies. By leveraging a world-class research infrastructure and local and global ecosystem of partners across a multitude of industries, innovation is created in application domains such as healthcare, smart cities, logistics, manufacturing, and energy.
The candidate will reside in the iGent building, Technologiepark-Zwijnaarde 126, 9052 Ghent.
