PhD in Department of Electrical Engineering

The PhD will be hosted within the Department of Electrical Engineering (Waves:Core Research and Engineering) and the Department of Architecture (Design and Engineering of Construction and Architecture) at KU Leuven. The primary research home will be the DRAMCO group, under the supervision of Prof. dr. ir. Gilles Callebaut. DRAMCO specializes in low-power wireless communication, distributed networks, sensing technologies, and experimental validation using advanced infrastructures such as the Techtile testbed. This PhD explores how citizens, spatial context, and devices jointly shape the behaviour of future wireless networks. The final aim is to build a methodological and scientific foundation for a new type of wireless infrastructure that is open, adaptable, energy-conscious, and architecturally embedded in the city. Location: Leuven, Belgium.
