Job description

Offer DescriptionAre you curious about how network models and AI can shape the future of telecommunication networks? Do you enjoy exploring mathematical models and working with network data? Join our team!Job description
Telecommunication networks are becoming increasingly programmable and automated. Various types of software can now be integrated to operate these networks in the cloud. While this enhances performance, for example through the use of AI-based algorithms, it also raises important questions about security and reliability. How can we use network modeling to ensure these technologies are operated safely and efficiently?Scientific challenges for this exciting PhD project include: how to model the various interdependencies between hardware and software components, using network modelling; how to assess the safety of such interconnected critical infrastructure and how to design and implement efficient algorithmic implementations of the theoretical models.You will be supervised by Dr. Caterina De Bacco from the Network Architecture and Services Group and Dr. Eric Smeitink from KPN, working closely with a collaborative team.This PhD position is part of the NExTWORKx* partnership, a strategic collaboration between KPN and Delft University of Technology. Curious to learn more about the project? Feel free to visit our website, where you’ll also find other exciting PhD opportunities related to this collaboration.You’ll become part of a diverse, enthusiastic team of academic staff, PhD students, and postdocs in the Network Architectures and Services Group. Together, we explore the characteristics of complex networks, from man-made infrastructures to biological, brain, and social systems. We foster a friendly, supportive environment where we regularly meet, exchange ideas, and collaborate. You’ll also receive comprehensive training to help you grow as a researcher.Requirements
In order to be successful, you will have:

  • MSc in Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics or related disciplines with a strong background in mathematical modeling, algorithms and probabilistic modeling
  • Good programming skills in Python/C/C++
  • Good oral and very good written skills in English
  • Enjoys working in an international and inter-disciplinary research group

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three scientific disciplines. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we all use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make completely sustainable and future-proof. At the same time, we are developing the chips and sensors of the future, whilst also setting the foundations for the software technologies to run on this new generation of equipment – which of course includes AI. Meanwhile we are pushing the limits of applied mathematics, for example mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. In other words: there is plenty of room at the faculty for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1000 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.
