Post Summary
We are seeking to recruit two post-doctoral research fellows to investigate novel reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms and their applications in IoT and edge cloud networks, within CONNECT - the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Future Networks and Communications.
Position 1 (IoT networks): This project will investigate the use of multi-agent RL for sensor-scheduling in energy-constrained environments. Developed algorithms will need to be lightweight and are required to run on energy and resource-constrained devices. Algorithms will utilize Age of Information metric to learn appropriate update interval, taking advantage of observed correlation to reduce sensor system energy usage.
Position 2 (edge cloud networks): This project will investigate the use of multi-agent and multi-objective RL for optimisation of resource allocation in edge cloud networks.
The successful candidates are expected to make contributions to the state of the art in RL algorithms and their applications in communication networks.
The positions will be based in the CONNECT Research Centre at Trinity College Dublin under the direction of Dr. Ivana Dusparic, working in close collaboration with colleagues at other CONNECT partner Universities. In particular, position 1 will be involved close collaboration with Tyndall Institute, utilizing their renewable energy testbed.
