Job description

Join our team as a Postdoc to work in underwater IoT at DTU Compute, focusing on cutting-edge research in underwater and terrestrial Low Power communication to enable innovative ecosystems for renewable energy technologies and infrastructure in ports and the maritime sector.A 2-year Postdoc in Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) is available in the (ESE) research section at , where you can help build up and shape our research activities on acoustic and terrestrial communication for IoT and IoUT systems led by Assistant Professor Charalampos Orfanidis and Associate Professor Matthias Bo Stuart. In the CETP POTENT project, we are working with Living Lab Networks including academic and industrial partners and ports to accelerate the green energy transition by investigating the use of ports as energy hubs that also act as green energy producers driving the societal transition towards net zero.In this position, you will build on your expertise in IoT and low-power computer and communication systems to research IoT systems and architectures for use in and around ports, from the nearby industries in the hinterland to the offshore windfarms, energy islands, and more. This includes possibilities to do research on communication using acoustic, optical and radio signals for underwater [1,2] and above-water [3] devices, respectively, as well as in the exciting and emerging field of cross-medium communication techniques. The position has some flexibility for you to focus on, e.g., various aspects of the communication technologies, energy efficiency or the reliability of the system. Your application should include a clear and specific statement on your research interest within the area.[1] Junsu Jang and Fadel Adib. 2019. Underwater backscatter networking.
