PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in adaptive antenna systems for 6G wireless networks
Future 6G wireless communication systems must deliver higher performance while operating under strict constraints on energy consumption and spectrum availability. Many candidate frequency bands for 6G are already used by services such as satellite communications, radar, radio astronomy, fixed terrestrial links, and unlicensed wireless access systems. This creates a strong need for antenna systems that can support efficient spectrum sharing at the physical layer.
This doctoral project is part of the SSF-funded Sweden–Taiwan collaborative research project Antenna Systems for 6G Wireless Networks. The project focuses on adaptive, interference-resilient antenna systems for 6G operation in the centimetre-wave frequency range, including the 6–24 GHz range often discussed as FR3. The central scientific idea is that future spectrum sharing cannot rely only on higher-layer coordination or static RF filtering. Instead, the antenna system itself must actively control how electromagnetic energy is radiated in both space and frequency.
The doctoral student will contribute to the development of adaptive, interference-resilient antenna design for energy-efficient and scalable spectrum sharing. The work will combine antenna hardware design, hybrid analogue–digital beamforming, and over-the-air experimental validation. The research will be carried out in close collaboration with Swedish and Taiwanese academic partners, as well as with industrial stakeholders connected to future wireless infrastructure, RF systems, and non-terrestrial networks.

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral student in statistical shape modelling of the human body for vehicle safety applications
This project aims to develop a science-based, full-body morphing framework for Human Body Models (HBMs) that can better represent how people of different sex, body size, body composition, and seating posture respond in vehicle crashes. Current safety assessment methods still rely heavily on a limited set of standard occupant models, which means that important groups—such as women, overweight and obese individuals, older occupants, and people in non-standard or reclined seating positions—are not sufficiently represented.
The project addresses this gap by combining biomechanics, medical imaging, statistical shape modelling, and virtual crash simulation to create coherent models of both the human skeleton and external body surface. A key focus is to improve the realism of safety-critical regions such as the abdomen, pelvis, torso, and breast tissue, where body shape and posture strongly influence seatbelt interaction, occupant motion, and injury risk.
The work is carried out through data collection, development of statistical shape models, integration into a unified morphing framework, and application in safety-relevant crash scenarios. The project also evaluates how improved anatomical and posture-dependent modelling affects occupant kinematics, restraint interaction, and injury-related responses in future vehicle concepts, including automated and shared vehicles.
By creating more realistic and transparent tools for population-based virtual safety assessment, the project will support fairer and more robust vehicle safety evaluation and contribute to future rating and regulatory development.
