PhD Fellowship in AI-native Networks

PhD Fellowship in AI-native Networks

Section for Medical Information and Communication Technology (Medical ICT Research), The Intervention Centre at Oslo University Hospital offers a full-time PhD Fellowship. The recruited PhD Fellow will be part of the Wireless Sensor Network Research Group of Professor Ilangko Balasingham and will be enrolled in the PhD program at the University of Oslo.

About the Project

The fellowship is part of the SYNAPSE (SYnergetic Network-AI Platform for Semantic Efficiency) project. SYNAPSE addresses a critical gap in next-generation networks: the disconnect between distributed AI processes and network infrastructure. The project develops an AI-native ecosystem where communication and computation co-evolve through cross-layer awareness, integrating semantic hypergraph intelligence, urgency-weighted federated learning, and multi-agent reinforcement learning for mission-critical healthcare applications.

Responsibilities

• Conduct research in AI-native networking and semantic hypergraph intelligence for healthcare applications.
• Design and implement graph neural network models and multi-agent reinforcement learning frameworks for cross-layer network orchestration.
• Validate research outcomes under realistic network conditions including mobility, congestion, and heterogeneous workloads.
• Contribute to scientific publications in top-tier venues and collaborative research activities.
