PhD position summary/title: PhD candidate for Radar-Based 4D Imaging with Advanced Massive-MIMO Signal Processing

The technology of Massive MIMO, through the deployment of numerous antennas at both the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) chains, has revolutionized wireless communications by significantly improving capacity and reliability, making it a favored option for various applications, including 5G. This technology has opened exciting new possibilities for 4D (three-dimensional space + Doppler) imaging using mmWave radar sensors, with exceptional spatial and temporal resolution. By utilizing a large number of antennas to transmit and receive signals, Massive MIMO radar can focus energy toward the intended target, minimizing interference from other sources. This enables the sensor to capture fine details about an object’s position, velocity, and movement direction, which can be invaluable for applications such as medical imaging, autonomous driving, in-car monitoring, industrial automation, and security surveillance.

The research, called “R4DAR,” aims to leverage emerging 4D imaging technology with Massive MIMO to create image-like radar observations in a more feasible way. The project focuses on addressing existing gaps in knowledge of Massive MIMO for radar, functional limitations, and sensing robustness while incorporating new features and achieving lower system costs.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral researcher in Research Project on Development of Aging Attitudes in Children

Applications are invited for a doctoral position at the Institute for Lifespan Development, Family and Culture at the University of Luxembourg.

The position is part of an international research project on “Pathways of Parental Influence on the Development of Ageing Attitudes in Young Children” The project is a cooperation between the University of Luxembourg and Friedrich Schiller University Jena, funded by the Fonds Nationale de la Recherche Luxembourg (FNR, INTER/DFG/25/18860401/ATTUNE) and the German Research Foundation (DFG).

Studies show that the foundation for the negative aging attitudes that prevail in our culture is already laid in childhood. The aim of this project is thus to contribute to a better understanding of the development of aging attitudes in 4- to 6-year-old children. The project focuses on how parents shape children’s aging attitudes through language, behavior, and so-called “gatekeeping”—that is, controlling children’s access to information. Of particular interest is whether parents’ awareness of negative aging attitudes contributes to critical reflection of these attitudes and reduces transmission to their children. To investigate these questions, behavioral, cognitive, and affective attitudes toward aging are assessed in a sample of N = 150 parent-child dyads – both implicitly and explicitly. Modern methods of attitude research, observation procedures, and child-friendly assessment instruments are combined to gain a differentiated insight into family influence processes.
