Background
Applications are invited for a Research Fellow in cooperative sensor scheduling. The role will involve developing signal processing algorithms for path planning and scheduling of multiple mobile sensing platforms. The Research Fellow will be based in the Microwave Integrated Systems Lab (MISL) at the University of Birmingham and work as part of an international collaboration with researchers in Australia.
The growth in low-cost sensors and autonomous platforms, result in a need to develop practical algorithms to schedule and plan the actions of groups of such platforms based on sensory information. These algorithms need to cope with complex environments and scenarios that are characterised by multiple, possibly conflicting, tasks. This project seeks to develop a practical solution to the problem that allows long-term planning for a group of autonomous sensing platform.
The successful application will have a fantastic opportunity working alongside a world leading MISL group at the University of Birmingham. MISL is the largest academic research team in the UK working in radar, remote sensing and signal processing. MISL is a unique collaborative environment delivering world-class cutting-edge research in the areas of radar (quantum enabled, synthetic aperture, forward scatter), space domain awareness, sensors for situational awareness for autonomous platforms, and signal processing and AI-based cognitive sensing.
