PhD Candidate in Vehicular Communications

at  Universit du Luxembourg

The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg is a leading international research and innovation centre in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services.
We play an instrumental role in Europe by fueling innovation through research partnerships with industry, boosting R&D investments leading to economic growth, and attracting highly qualified talent. We look for researchers from diverse academic backgrounds to contribute to our projects in areas such as: Network Security, Information Assurance, Model-driven Security, Cloud Computing, Cryptography, Satellite Systems, Vehicular Networks, and ICT Services & Applications.

The successful candidate will join the UBIX Research Group, led by Prof. Raphaël Frank, and work in close collaboration with the industrial partners that are part of the 5GDrive consortium.
This PhD project focuses on developing a tele-operated driving system for autonomous vehicles using 5G technology. The aim is to create a low-latency, high-throughput network application that enables real-time control and video transmission for remote vehicle operation. The project will develop a prototype, rigorously tested in both lab environments and real-world conditions, to validate its reliability and safety. The research will contribute to advancements in autonomous vehicle technology, focusing on secure communication, reducing latency, and optimizing 5G’s application in connected transportation

You will be required to perform the following tasks:

• Carrying out research in the predefined areas
• Disseminating results through scientific publications
• Communicate and interact with the partner’s team to collect requirements and report results
• Implement, test and evaluate proof-of-concept prototypes
• Collaborate with other researchers of the 5GDrive project
