Nokia Bell Labs Cambridge is looking for a researcher to join the Math & Algorithms Research Group, AI Research Lab, to evaluate the use of a novel computing concept called Ising machine in 6G signal processing. Ising machines are a new quantum/analogue computing paradigm for solving discrete optimisation problems. This project is part of a big EU funded initiative (QUEST-6G) pushing the limits of hardware and algorithms design for 6G communications. We are looking for a candidate to help us design algorithms, conduct numerical experiments and conduct benchmarking and analysis of the performance of this new computing approach. This role is a fixed-term appointment for 26 months.
Responsibilities
- Exploration of the capabilities of novel computing hardware in 6G wireless communication (e.g. in hybrid precoding, power allocation, antenna positioning, beam focusing, non-linear precoding).
- Numerical simulation of Ising machines.
- Compiling of and working with radio signal datasets to evaluate algorithm performance.
- Creation of written reports and publications about the findings.
- Presentations to the project consortium and the wider research community.
Qualifications
You are:
a researcher with a PhD degree in electrical engineering, applied mathematics, physics, or related field.
experienced in (or shows strong interest in) radio signal processing as applied to mobile communications, particularly for MIMO arrays.
familiar with (or shows strong interest in) Ising machines or related novel computing paradigms.
experienced with numerical methods and software (e.g. Python, numpy, Mathematica, or similar tools).
