PhD Studentship at Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, UCL in UK

by

University College LondonUniversity College London, Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering is offering PhD studentship under EPSRC Industrial CASE award with BBC R&D: 2013-2017. The fully-funded 4-year PhD studentship covers a tax-free stipend of £15,590 (increasing with inflation), an industrial top-up of up to £3k per year, books, professional memberships and travel to workshops and conferences, as well as tuition fees at a home/EU rate. This PhD programme is focused on the need to quantify the fundamental capacity limits for the nonlinear channels carried over optical fibers, and to develop techniques to approach those limits so as to maximize the achievable channel capacity for the optical network. The studentship will start from September 2013.

Study Subject(s): This PhD studentship will base on Digital signal processing for high-speed optical communication systems: maximizing the nonlinear channel capacity.
Course Level: The studentship is offered for PhD degree level.
Scholarship Provider: University College London, Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering
Scholarship can be taken at: UK

Eligibility: -UK/EU students only
-Applicants (UK/EU only) should be academically strong, ideally have 1st class (or a very good 2’1) undergraduate degree or equivalent in physics, communications or electronic & electrical engineering and a clear aptitude and enthusiasm for research.
-Competence with scientific computing is an advantage as well as any experience of laboratory work in a (optical communications) research environment.

Scholarship Open for Students of Following Countries: Students of UK/EU can apply for this studentship.

Scholarship Description: The aim of the research is to understand the achievable information capacity limits of optical communication systems. In contrast to wireless communication channel or optical channels in free space, the optical channel in fibre is nonlinear. This PhD programme is focused on the need to quantify the fundamental capacity limits for the nonlinear channels carried over optical fibres, and to develop techniques to approach those limits so as to maximize the achievable channel capacity for the optical network. The challenge is to understand to what degree optical nonlinearity can also be compensated or, indeed, used, to unlock the fibre capacity, maximize both the information transmission rate and the total bandwidth.
