PhD in mobile wireless sub-THz MIMO communication for 7G

Project description Research education subject: Information and communication technology In this doctoral project, you will contribute to the theory development for mobile wireless communication systems on sub-terahertz (sub-THz) and terahertz (THz) for 6G, 7G and beyond and establish yourself at the international forefront. Some possible research sub-areas are related to physically large antenna arrays, near-field THz communication, mobile antennas, intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS), joint terahertz communication and wireless sensing (ISAC), massive and distributed MIMO at sub-terahertz frequencies, and terahertz communication for satellite networks. Methods from probability theory, communication theory, electromagnetics, optimization and machine learning will play an important role. The research will focus on the physical layer and the media access control layer, but there are opportunities to adapt the research to your personal interests. The research is fully funded and the results will be published in top journals and prepare you for a research career in academia and industry. Supervision: Prof. Emil Björnsson and Assistant Professor Vitaly Petrov.  Eligibility for admission To be admitted to doctoral studies (Chapter 7, Section 39 of the Higher Education Ordinance) the applicant must have basic eligibility: have completed a degree at an advanced level, or completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 higher education credits are at an advanced level, or have acquired, in some other way within or outside the country, knowledge mainly corresponding to this.

In addition to the above, there is also a mandatory requirement for English equivalent to English B/6. Selection To succeed in your doctoral studies at KTH, you need to be goal-oriented and persistent in your work.

The total period of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time education at the doctoral level for four years. An employed doctoral student may, to a limited extent (at most 20%), perform certain tasks within, e.g., education and administration. A new employment as a doctoral student is valid for at most one year; the employment may thereafter be renewed for at most two years at a time. For studies intended to be completed with a licentiate degree, the total period of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time education at the doctoral level for two years. As a doctoral student, you will benefit from KTH's employment benefits and have a monthly salary according to KTH's agreement for doctoral salaries.
