Connectionists: 2 PhD open positions for the Joint Doctoral Programme in Interactive and Cognitive Environments (JD ICE) - University of Genova (Italy) and Queen Mary University of London

[Lucio Marcenaro]

*Two PhD scholarships* are available within the *Joint Doctoral 
Programme in Interactive and Cognitive Environments* (JD ICE) that is a 
PhD programme organised by the Department of Electrical, Electronic, 
Telecommunications Engineering and Naval Architecture at *University of 
Genoa* (http://www.isip40.it/) and the Centre for Intelligent Sensing at 
*Queen Mary University of London* (http://cis.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/) .

_*General Information*_*
*Applications are invited for *2 PhD open position*.
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.
The ISIP40 group, active in the DITEN department in the Faculty of 
Engineering of the University of Genoa has focused its attention mostly on:

  * Cognitive Dynamic Systems
  * Multisensor Signal Processing for Surveillance
  * Software and Cognitive Radio
  * Bayesian Object and Situation assessment
  * Interactive and Cognitive Environments


_*Open Positions for Ph.D. (Dottorato di Ricerca)*__*
*_
2 positions (3 years) starting at the beginning of November 2016; 
expiration date for first level applications: May 15th, 2016
_*
Research Areas:*_
/*Dynamic Bayesian networks for heterogeneous signal processing for 
modeling, understanding and recognizing anomalous events in crowded 
environments*//*
*/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
/*Compressed sensing based approach for dynamic opportunistic 
transmission in cognitive radio devices*//*
*/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

_*Applications:*__*
*_
Applications are invited for 2 PhD open positions, starting at the 
November 2015 with ISIP40 research group (http://www.isip40.it/) of the 
Department of Electrical, Electronic, Telecommunications Engineering and
