Project title: Distributed optical sensor system for Sensor Nodes

Location: Technological University Dublin

Principal Supervisor: Prof. Yuliya Semenova
Co-Siperviors: Dr. Bo Cai (Eblana Photonics Ltd, Ireland); Dr. Qiang Wu (Northumbria University, UK)

Framework: Doctoral Networks (MSCA-DN) project " OWIN6G - Optical and Wireless Sensors Networks for 6G Scenarios".

Funding: EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation – Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska Curie Action

Eligible candidates are invited to submit applications for one position (through the award of a work contract) for 36 months. This position is under very attractive employment conditions and competitive salaries offered in Marie-Curie Doctoral Networks.

Global project description:

In the Optical and WIreless sensors Networks for 6G scenarios (OWIN6G) project, key industry and academic stakeholders are brought together with the aim of developing a structured European training programme (TP) in optical technologies to facilitate disruptive wireless sensor applications within sixth-generation (6G) networks. OWIN6G will be the first Doctoral Network dedicated to training new generation of early-stage researchers (i.e., doctoral candidates, DCs) in the field of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for the Internet of Things/Internet of Everything as part of the 6G and beyond focusing on novel sensors, solar-cells for energy harvesting and optical detection, and hybrid RF-optical wireless technologies, and the application of machine learning to improve adoption, optimization, and security aspects in sensor networks.

Objectives:
Designing and developing a distributed optical sensor system for Sensor Nodes used within WSN for real-time monitoring physical (temperature, strain, vibration) and biological (foodborne pathogens) parameters. The output of the distributed sensor array will be transmitted via the sensor node.
