Postdoctoral Fellowship in Electrical Engineering

with Focus on the application of Machine Learning and optimization tools to wireless networks

Description

Thriving in today's economy requires the fusion of cutting-edge innovations to produce a ground-breaking product that excels in every performance measure. Artificial intelligence (AI), enabled by machine learning (ML), has revolutionized technology and opened venues in many fields. Under the supervision of Pro. Georges Kaddoum, we are pleased to announce the vacancies for of several postdoctoral fellowships in the Electrical Engineering department at École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS). These postdoc positions are part of collaborative projects between Prof. Kaddoum and other leading universities and tech-companies to foster innovative ML-based solutions to tackle the future challenges of wireless networks. Some of the involved topics include radio resource management, clustering, FANET, networking, Ultra-dense heterogeneous networks, transmission security, and others.

Qualifications
