Funded Studentship: Architectures and protocols aiming to reduce power consumption of ICT networks

Description

Advertisement

The focus of this studentship is to develop network architectures and protocols that aim to reduce the power consumption of ICT networks. The PhD student will investigate the energy efficiency of a range of measures that improve the design of cloud computing networks, core network architecture and protocols to support the transmission of Big Data. The work will also consider energy efficiency in software defined networks and virtualization technologies that abstract the underlying network hardware facilitating scalability and automation.

The PhD student will develop appropriate mathematical models to capture the key characteristics of energy consumption in different architectures and will develop appropriate optimisation models and heuristics and implement the resulting algorithms on appropriate hardware platforms in test beds and in simulators.

Contents

The PhD studentship will provide a good opportunity to work within the world class optical networking group in the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Leeds, and link with the industrial collaborators and academic partners on the different projects within the group.

Requirements

Applications are invited from candidates with or expecting a minimum of a UK upper second class honours degree (2:1), high merit at MSc level or equivalent, in an Electronic Engineering or closely related discipline.
