Doctoral Student In Mobile Wireless Sub-THz MIMO Communication For 7G

KTH, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Third-cycle subject: Information and Communication Technology

In this doctoral project, you will contribute to the theory formation for mobile sub-terahertz (sub-THz) and terahertz (THz) wireless communication systems for 6G, 7G and beyond and establish yourself at the international forefront. Some possible research sub-areas are related to physically large antenna arrays, near-field THz communications, movable antennas, intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs), joint terahertz communication and wireless sensing (ISAC), massive and distributed MIMO at sub-terahertz frequencies, and terahertz communications for satellite networks. Methods from probability theory, communication theory, electromagnetics, optimization and machine learning will play an important role.

The research will focus on the physical layer and media access control layer, but there are opportunities to adapt the research to your personal interests. The research is fully funded, and the results will be published in top-level journals and prepare you for a research career in academia and industry.

Supervision: Assistant Prof. Vitaly Petrov and Prof. Emil Björnsson.

To be admitted to postgraduate education, the applicant must have basic eligibility in accordance with either of the following: passed a second cycle degree (for example a master's degree), or completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 second-cycle higher education credits, or acquired, in some other way within or outside the country, substantially equivalent knowledge. In addition to the above, there is also a mandatory requirement for English equivalent to English B/6.

In order to succeed as a doctoral student at KTH you need to be goal oriented and persevering in your work.

After the qualification requirements, great emphasis will be placed on personal skills.

Target degree: Doctoral degree

Only those admitted to postgraduate education may be employed as a doctoral student. The total length of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education in four years' time. An employed doctoral student can, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within their role, e.g. training and administration. A new position as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and then the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time. In the case of studies that are to be completed with a licentiate degree, the total period of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education for two years. As a doctoral student, you are entitled to a workplace with many employee benefits and monthly salary according to KTH's Doctoral student salary agreement.
