PhD Position Distributed & Adaptive Radar for Human wellbeing Monitoring-
Job description
We seek a motivated PhD student to work on a 4-year NWO funded project called DARE (Distributed and Adaptive Radar for Enhanced Sensing and Classification).
The goal of this project is to work towards transitioning radar from a conventional stand-alone sensor to an intelligent and spatially distributed network of cooperative nodes. The spatially distributed aspect will provide information from many partial viewpoints to reconstruct more detailed 3D signatures of the observed scenarios. The intelligent aspect will enable the radar to adapt its parameters and processing to the changes in objects’ behavior and environment, like in a sort of “chess game”. Hence, the intended scientific breakthrough is to formulate, implement, and validate the ‘distributed radar brain’ needed to establish and support this new sensing approach, combining spatially-distributed with adaptive capabilities in radar classification.
Specifically, in this project we work on the problem of observing people and supporting their wellbeing. This is primarily looking at the context of monitoring drivers’ and passengers’ conditions in the cabin of future smart cars, as well as more in general the health condition of vulnerable individuals in an indoor environment (e.g., people with health conditions living alone who might suffer from accidents such as falls). This problem is scientifically challenging, as 1) indoor environments such as vehicle cabins present a lot of clutter and multipath masking the signature of the person or people to observe; and 2) the human body is a rather complicated object to observe with radar, as we want to observe reliably the very small movements associated to vital signs (e.g., heartbeat) and the larger movements such as a fall while walking. Distributed and adaptive radar techniques have the potential to improve our capabilities to monitor these situations, and we seek motivated students to take up this challenge.
Your main responsibilities will be to:
- Develop strategies to adapt the configuration of radars in a network and decide the best processing approaches as a function of the object behaviour and changes in the environment, which should be later translated into the codes and databases.
- Formulate mathematical models for key radar parameters, feature extraction, and identification/tracking for people observed by heterogeneous radar networks.
- Experimentally validate methods using numerical simulations and in-situ observations.
- Collaborate with another PhD student within the same project to exchange knowledge, perform joint experiments and make sure all project objectives are met.
- Participate in knowledge utilization activities and dissemination of research findings, also including project partners.
**Requirements**:
To be considered for this PhD position you should have:
- A Master's degree in electrical/electronic engineering, computer science, physics, mathematics or other related fields.
- Knowledge and interest in radar signal processing, preferably but not necessarily on classification techniques and distributed radar systems.
- Knowledge or at least some interest in machine learning, preferably techniques for management/adaptation of systems.
- Programming experience in MATLAB/Python or C/C++, preferably in relation to radar signal processing.
- A curiosity-driven mindset, the ability to learn new things and a passion for (doing) research. Evidences of innovative thinking and new knoweldge generation is an advantage.
- An open-minded personality for cooperation with colleagues and co-supervision of students.
- Willingness to help out with education related tasks (e.g., teaching assistance).
- Good English language and communication skills (written and oral) in order to closely cooperate with colleagues and students as well as write project documents.
