To achieve our goals, we rely on our specific research, development and technology competencies, which are the basis of our commitment to excellence in all areas. With our open culture of innovation and our motivated, international teams, we are working to position AIT as Austria's leading research institution at the highest international level and to make a positive contribution to the economy and society.
 
The Center for Digital Safety & Security is looking for new Ingenious Partner for our location in Vienna. The research field Enabling Digital Technologies within the Competence Unit for Security and Communication Technologies is leading in applied 5G and beyond research of advanced reliable wireless joint communication and sensing systems for time sensitive use cases in the domain of railways, street transport, industrial automation and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).

Master Thesis “Site-Specific Radio Channel Modeling”

CENTER FOR DIGITAL SAFETY & SECURITY

  • In this master thesis project, you will work on advanced numerical model for site-specific radio channel representation.
  • You will focus on the technical development of new capabilities of the AIT ray tracer software using a high performance NVIDIA GPU.
  • The main goal of this master thesis is to extend the AIT ray tracer to include polarization, general geometries and dynamic ray tracing capabilities.
  • Under the guidance of our team, you will extend an existing numerical simulation system and validate it with empirical measurement data.
  • You will broaden your knowledge and skills in the field of advanced radio channel modelling.
  • You will be trained in scientific work. If you are successful, you may continue as a Ph.D. student, publish the achieved results and present them at a scientific conference.
Your qualifications as an Ingenious Partner:
  • Ongoing master's studies in Electrical Engineering, Wireless Communications and Sensing, Computational Science, or related fields.
  • Knowledge on mathematical models for radio wave propagation modeling
  • Experience with parallel programming on NVIDIA GPUs
