Research Topic Title:

Embedding Artificial Intelligence within applications of the Internet of Things

No. of Openings:

1

Description:

This dissertation will study how artificial intelligence and edge computing can be exploited within existing and potential applications of the Internet of Things. Indicative application domains are smart cities, energy, transportation and agriculture and the study can potentially involve working with both the software, hardware (i.e. mobile devices, sensors) and networking infrastructure supporting the applications.

The work for the above subject entails carrying out high level research that produces original results that advance knowledge in the corresponding scientific field.

The application of each candidate should include a detailed CV along with a brief description of research interests (maximum 2 pages) written in English.

Funding:

Depending on their field of expertise and qualifications, candidates may be offered teaching assistant positions in the department for lab-based courses and/or research assistant positions in on-going research projects.

Candidates can also apply for a scholarship from the university at the time of submitting their application for this position.

Required Qualifications:

Candidates must hold a postgraduate degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Data Science or a relevant field. In exceptional cases candidates without a postgraduate degree may also be admitted in the doctoral program.

Description:

This Ph.D. thesis work will lead to the design, development and empirical investigation of applications that use Internet of Things (IoT) technologies (mobile devices, sensors and the users as data sources i.e. crowdsourcing) to develop users’ environmental consciousness as well as energy awareness. The thesis will focus on developing IoT applications to investigate potential methods in which they can be integrated in formal education or in Environmental Education Centers (or in informal learning contexts) so that they can have a positive effect on users’ learning and/or behavior and attitudes on environmental and energy issues.
