SoC is strongly committed to research excellence in all its dimensions: Searching for fundamental results and insights, developing novel computational solutions to a wide range of applications, building large-scale experimental systems and improving the well-being of society. We seek to play an active role both internationally and locally in the core and emerging areas of Computer Science and Information Systems. The project aims to develop a novel distributed consensus algorithm for Low-Powered Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). While consensus is a desirable property for many WSN applications, well-studied distributed consensus algorithms (e.g., Paxos, Raft) are not suitable in the wireless context. Unlike conventional wired networks, WSNs are susceptible to high degrees of interference and packet-loss. However, physical properties of the wireless signal present interesting opportunities that can be used to achieve reliable consensus. Responsibilities The Research Assistant will be responsible for working closely with the Principal Investigator and lab members to develop and evaluate this algorithm. He/she should possess experience or interest in at least one of the following research areas: Signal Processing Distributed Systems and Networks Embedded Systems The Research Assistant will be responsible for: Developing signal processing algorithms at the PHY layer Developing a consensus protocol with formal proofs of correctness Conducting large-scale comprehensive experiments on real hardware (Software Defined Radios) Qualifications A Bachelor's degree with Honours/Master's degree in a relevant area Experience in research Proficient in C/C++ programming Knowledge of SDR/GNURadio programming Reliable, independent and scientific work style Interested applicants are invited to apply directly at our We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified. Covid-19 Message At NUS, the health and safety of our staff and students are one of our utmost priorities, and COVID-vaccination supports our commitment to ensure the safety of our community and to make NUS as safe and welcoming as possible. Many of our roles require a significant amount of physical interactions with students/staff/public members. Even for job roles that may be performed remotely, there will be instances where on-campus presence is required. Taking into consideration the health and well-being of our staff and students and to better protect everyone in the campus, applicants are strongly encouraged to have themselves fully COVID-19 vaccinated to secure successful employment with NUS.
