Norway - PhD Positions in Wireless Biomedical Sensor Networks at NTNU

Two Ph.D. positions in Wireless biomedical sensor networks at Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway. Two Ph.D. scholarships are offered within the area of Wireless biomedical sensor networks at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (http://www.iet. ntnu.no) in the Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

The scholarships are financed by the Research Council of Norway (NFR) under the VERDIKT program. The project is on “Strategies for seamless deployment of mobile patient monitoring systems” (SAMPOS) and is a joint effort among Rikshospitalet University Hospital, SINTEF ICT, Norwegian Computing Center, and ABB Research. International collaborators are EPFL Switzerland, KTH Sweden and Johns Hopkins University, USA.

The goal of the project is to develop more basic understanding of, and novel and more efficient (principles) methods for signal processing and communication in wireless biomedical sensor networks. The project will mainly address basic research, for improved energy-efficiency, quality-of-service (QoS), and robustness. For more information, please visit http://www.ivs. no/sampos
