School of Electrical and Information Engineering

Faculty Engineering

• Research Opportunity in the School of Electrical and Information Engineering
• Full-time for 1 year (Renewable), Located at Camperdown Campus
• Base Salary: $73,420-$98,940 p/a plus leave loading and a generous employer’s contribution to superannuation.  

About the opportunity 

This project is focused on the challenge of applying real-time machine learning to massive high-frequency data streams such as those seen in radio frequency applications. We will apply new machine learning techniques to radio signals, improve upon current machine-learning techniques and innovate methods for translating computationally complex machine-learning algorithms directly to circuit-based execution. The key will be to develop a system capable of interpreting and predicting radio frequency traffic and propagation, and understanding what can be achieved in real-time with current and future technology.
