Two PhD Scholarships in EDM, Hasselt (Belgium)

Call for candidates (m/f) for fulltime PhD positions at the Expertise Centre for Digital Media (EDM, www.edm.uhasselt.be), ICT research institute of Hasselt University in Belgium, in the context of the BOF research project ‘Simultaneous Interaction Spaces ‘:

Two PhD Scholarships Computer Science - Intelligent Environments
(2x2 years)

(mandates 090/32/089 and 090)

Envisioned research

The applicants will be focusing on (connected) smart environments in which context-aware interactive visualizations on arbitrary surfaces for multiple simultaneous users are realized. This implies investigating the required supporting infrastructure (hard- and software) for the creation of such environments, protocols
for communication, software to support users and applications, tools for end-users and developers to interact, and finally appropriate and novel ways of interaction. The goal is to develop the next-generation everywhere display for distributed collaborative environments where large data sets are typically required to
accomplish the envisioned end-user goals.

Profile and diploma

Enthusiastic applicants with excellent study results are invited to apply. Successful applicants have a keen interest in the aforementioned research and can work both independently as well as in team.
Candidates should hold a master degree in computer science, a civil engineer degree in computer science or equivalent. Students, who will complete these studies during the summer, are also strongly invited to apply.
