Job description

NExTWORKx* is the strategic partnership between the Telecom and ICT service provider KPN and Delft University of Technology. NExTWORKx aims to develop new concepts & technology in telecommunication and artificial intelligence, to respond to new disruptive technologies and to continue the development of talent. NExTWORKx enters its second research phase with a focus on developing and applying concepts from network science to model the huge number of real-time interactions between software components and data sets and to enable monitoring and control. AI-based algorithms will be developed for monitoring information flows and smart contracts. A trusted layer for monitoring and control is crucial for every network and digital infrastructure individually, but also across critical infrastructures, data sharing and smart city platforms. NExTWORKx announces the hiring of 4 PhD students who will be mentored by both TUDelft and KPN staff. The 4 PhD projects contribute to the above goals, but each with a different focus:

  1. Safe use of AI in telecommunication networks
  2. Resilient cross domain networks for critical infrastructure
  3. Secure data sharing in federated edge clouds
  4. Co-evolution of telecommunication networks and urban systems

Secure data sharing in federated edge clouds

Commercial interests and legal constraints often restrict data exchange, prohibiting straightforward solutions such as consolidating all data in central “data lakes” that can be freely accessed by all stakeholders. Also, in many applications the complete data does not need or is not allowed to be revealed to all stakeholders.

As a PhD student, you will design novel algorithms for real time exchange/sharing of data, inspired by challenging data sharing problems in automated driving, smart cities and smart grids

This PhD position will be based in the Network Architecture and Services (NAS) group in the Department of Quantum& Computer Engineering, co-supervised by Maksim Kitsak, Lydia Chen (TU Delft and University of Neuchatel) and Piet Van Mieghem. In your role, you will work closely with other PhD students of the NAS group and KPN staff.

Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science

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.
