PhD in Computer Science

University of Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom./n6G networks will be compute-native, evolving from packet-forwarding infrastructures into distributed in-network computing platforms./nThis project seeks to extend the limits of in-network computing by redefining what computation can be performed within the network data path, and how such capabilities can be coordinated across edge and core networks./nThis PhD project will systematically investigate the architectural and practical boundaries of in-network computing across mobile, edge, and core environments, and develop principled approaches to overcome them./nYou will join a dynamic team with collaborations across the UK and abroad, and aim to publish research outputs in leading venues such as INFOCOM, NSDI, CoNEXT, SIGCOMM, and IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.
