We are pleased to announce the reopening of the PhD position BOSCH-1: Sensor and data fusion techniques for vehicular communication performance enhancements within the ISLANDS MSCA Doctoral Network.
This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) in the automotive sector. Hosted by Robert Bosch GmbH in Reutlingen, Germany, the selected Doctoral Candidate (DC) will join a dynamic international research network and pursue their PhD at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).
The project will focus on studying sensor data fusion techniques from 3GPP/non-3GPP sources in automotive applications and developing ISAC mechanisms to enhance vehicular communication performance. The work will include evaluation of new concepts through simulations and analytical tools, and exploration of architectures for distributed data fusion.
The position includes secondments at both KIT (Germany) and The American College of Greece – Research Center (ACG-RC), allowing for extensive interdisciplinary and international exposure.
Scientific Context: To enable advanced driving capabilities, vehicles require precise perception of their surroundings. This project will investigate how ISAC-based inputs can be fused with traditional sensor data to improve sensing accuracy and develop efficient spectrum sharing frameworks.
