• The selected candidate will have opportunities to work in an enriching interdisciplinary environment, with significant potential for broad impact in terms of technology development, industry involvement, and educational initiatives. The focus of the ERC project is on communication technology, information theory, and wireless communication. The position is intended for a PhD thesis under the supervision of Dr. Shuangyang Li and Prof. Giuseppe Caire.
• This research project focuses on the design and application of next-generation physical layer waveforms, particularly advanced waveform designed in the delay-Doppler (DD) domain, such as orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS). DD waveforms have recently been recognized as a potential solution for wireless communications and sensing over high dynamic channels.
• You’re investigating in the communication design using DD waveforms in terms of both algorithmic designs and theoretical performance analysis. Specifically, the program aims to apply advanced precoding and receiving techniques for improving the DD-MIMO performance. In addition, coded DD waveform design is another research focus for this program. On top of that, we plan to apply advanced signal processing and information theory tools to develop a comprehensive performance evaluations of DD waveforms for communications.

• Successfully completed scientific university degree (Master, Diplom or equivalent), and Ph.D. degree in a field of Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, relevant to the research topic described below.
• Specific know-how and experience in communication theory, wireless channel modeling, and a good understanding of the 5G and 6G physical layer.
• Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills.
