Postdoctoral Research Fellow or Doctoral Researcher (mmWave Communication and Sensing for Drone Swarms)

Description：In the project, a multifunction millimetre wave (mmWave) radio concept is proposed to enable the scalable autonomous drone swarm without the need for external positioning and connectivity infrastructures, pre-programmed routine, and human intervention. The integrated mmWave sensing and communications functions are underpinned by the synergy between signal and system-level innovations. The Postdoctoral Researcher’s position focuses on 3D mmWave channel modelling in high dynamic environments, fast converging time-spatial alignment mechanisms, joint sensing and communications waveform design, high-resolution signal steering and estimation algorithms to enable reliable low latency intra- and inter-swarms communications simultaneously with the high accuracy drone position and motion capturing during swarming tasks with the partial or full absence of external support. The delivery of the project will enable drone swarm applications in a variety of scenarios, where the communications and positioning facilities are missing. The scenarios include search and rescuing in remote forests, disaster relief, 3D modelling of the indoor and outdoor landscape etc. The deliverables of the project will bring economic and social benefits to the safety, security and digitization of municipal services.
