</b></font>Applications are invited for <b>2 PhD open position</b>.<br>
JD ICE provides PhD training in the fields of multimedia signal
processing, data fusion, computer vision, cognitive dynamic systems
and machine learning, and offers advanced research projects designed
for ambitious students willing to become word-leading researchers.
PhD students will benefit from a joint-supervision model and will
spend part of their PhD programme in the London, UK and part in
Genoa, Italy.<br>
The ISIP40 group, active in the DITEN department in the Faculty of
Engineering of the University of Genoa has focused its attention
mostly on:<br>
<ul>
<li>Cognitive Dynamic Systems</li>
<li>Multisensor Signal Processing for Surveillance</li>
<li>Software and Cognitive Radio</li>
<li>Bayesian Object and Situation assessment</li>
<li>Interactive and Cognitive Environments</li>
</ul>

</b></u></font><br>
2 positions (3 years) starting at the beginning of November 2016;
expiration date for first level applications: May 15th, 2016<br>
<u><b><br>
Research Areas:</b></u><br>
<i><b>Dynamic Bayesian networks for heterogeneous signal processing
for modeling, understanding and recognizing anomalous events in
crowded environments</b></i><i><b><br>
</b></i>this research theme will study novel signal processing
techniques based on probabilistic graphical models and dynamic
Bayesian networks for understanding crowd dynamics and detecting
potentially dangerous situations<br>
<i><b>Compressed sensing based approach for dynamic opportunistic
transmission in cognitive radio devices</b></i><i><b><br>
</b></i>this research theme will study algorithms and methods
based on compressed sensing theory as enabler for cognitive radio
terminals for opportunistic spectrum usage to optimize transmission
rate and external attack robustness<br>
