PhD position summary/title: PhD Student in Generative Modelling of Conversational Dynamics
This project aims to create generative models of spoken conversation that enable speaking machines to adapt their conversation style over time, in the same natural manner that we humans do. To make this a reality, you will perform self-supervised learning of aspects such as speech patterns, rhythm, and intonation from human dialogues, and use the results to build better, adaptive text-to-speech systems. This represents a new way to integrate text-to-speech technology, dialogue systems, and generative machine learning. By being speaker-agnostic, the approach seeks to do this without propagating existing biases, to create engaging and inclusive human-computer interactions.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in Real-Time Systems
Embedded systems are at the heart of the ongoing digitalisation that transforms all areas of society. Consequently, their complexity is steadily rising. Many of these systems are safety-critical by nature and subject to various timing constraints that need to be met at runtime, requiring formal evidence of correctness. One important type of timing constraint is the end-to-end latency constraint, which describes the time it can take for data to propagate through a chain of communicating tasks.
The research project in which the PhD student will work aims to develop design and formal timing analysis techniques for real-time applications that are subject to different end-to-end latency constraints. The end-to-end latency is influenced by the application’s workload, the implemented communication paradigm and the scheduling algorithm. Of particular interest are applications that are comprised of several, possibly interconnected, task chains. The project will develop design and analysis techniques for such applications that can already be used early in the design process. This can, for example, be a transformation of task properties such that end-to-end latency constraints are always met. The project will also demonstrate that the resulting systems can be efficiently scheduled at runtime.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in underwater communication and signal processing
The Nord Stream incident has demonstrated the vulnerability of critical underwater infrastructure, such as gas pipelines and submarine cables. New technologies for monitoring marine environments are needed to increase security around critical underwater infrastructure and thereby increase the protection of our society and marine environment. A key component required to develop these new technologies is scalable and resource-efficient methods for reconnaissance and communication in underwater environments.
Today sensing and communication are separate processes in most underwater systems. This causes a suboptimal utilization of resources, such as energy, bandwidth, etc. But thanks to technological advancements, it is now realistic to imagine systems that integrate sensing and communication into a single task. Thereby, the systems will be better able to utilize available resources and enable large-scale monitoring of marine environments. Within this PhD project, you will contribute to the development of theory and methods for integrated sensing and communication within underwater systems.
