SUTD invites applications for an opening of Research Fellow position in our Asia and Pacific OTIC in Singapore to develop intelligent, secure, and sustainable future communications systems and to develop novel testing methodologies and tools to validate such technology. The researcher will work with the Asia & Pacific OTIC team in Singapore to develop novel O-RAN technology and testing solutions and work with industrial partners to translate selected research outcomes to solutions and prototypes with high technology readiness level.
In particular, to support a diverse set of use cases with ever-increasing requirements, the architectural design of 5G and future 6G systems emphasizes software-defined reconfigurability and AI-enabled intelligent operations. Open RAN --- as a generic term used by the community for an open radio access network architecture --- is viewed as a promising way to achieve this design objective. While open RAN promotes interoperable interfaces, RAN virtualization, and support for big data and AI-enabled RAN, its success requires us to overcome multiple challenges --- in particular, how to build intelligence and adaptability into such a system while still providing high assurance regarding its security and resilience; how to ensure interoperability and high performance under diverse deployment settings. Our project aims to lay a solid foundation for designing and testing secure and intelligent open RAN systems.
The application should contain a complete resume, a cover letter describing the applicant's background (PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, or related disciplines, is required), past research experience and technical skillset, and contact information of up to three references.
