PhD Studentships in Electrical Engineering, Royal Institute of Technology

Sweden. Three PhD student positions are available within The School of Electrical Engineering (EES). The position is intended for pursuing individual doctoral studies. The position will include 80% research and 20% teaching assistance. The salary is based on the existing employment agreement for PhD position.

The research and education conducted by the Sound and Image Processing Lab focuses on the processing of audio-visual signals. Our research work ranges from basic research (where we solve signal processing and information theoretical problems relevant to audio-visual signals) to applications (where we create, for example, new audio and video coders).

The following research areas are particularly relevant to the individual positions:

• Robust, adaptive coding algorithms for heterogeneous packet networks with application to audio and video signals
• Techniques to make existing (legacy) coding systems robust to packet loss
• Feature selection for speech recognition

Required Qualifications
The candidate should hold the degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Engineering Physics, or an equivalent degree.
