PhD Studentship in Computer Vision based Advanced Geotechnologies, Ireland
The Computer Vision and Imaging Laboratory, at the Department of Computer Science, NUI
Maynooth is currently inviting applications for a PhD Studentship in Computer Vision based Advanced Geotechnologies. The successful candidate will be required to develop state-of-the-art computer vision techniques for improved image understanding,image querying and matching, and camera pose estimation. This work will becarried out as part of a larger project to develop a Smart Campus Environment incorporating state-of-the-art geotechnologies. In particular, it is intended that the outputs of the student’s research will provide the foundations for solutions within this environment for image-based userlocalization, intelligent user navigation, augmented reality, and distributed smart camera networks.
This position is part of a ScienceFoundation Ireland (SFI) funded Strategic Research Cluster in Advanced Geotechnologies (StratAG – www.stratag.ie) that involves a consortium of departments from NUI Maynooth, Trinity College Dublin (TCD), the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) and University College Dublin (UCD). StratAG is a collaborative research programme aimed at developing new tools and technologies for the capture, analysis, and visualisation of geospatial information and the delivery of location based services using these technologies.

PhD Scholarship in the area of Low Cost Wireless Sensor Networks, Ireland
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in the areaof wireless sensor networks with the focus on covering a wide area at very low cost. This area of research, led by Dr. Ronan Farrell, will be undertaken in close collaboration with the national StratAG (www.stratag.ie) research consortium on advanced geotechnologies.
Wireless sensor networks have been used widely for a number of years but have yet to achieve their vision of being truly disposable or cost effective. For example, the cost of deploying a network in a forest to track wildlife is prohibitive is any large scale fashion. This project will explore opportunities to address the cost issue by examining the constraints in which we design our systems and what additional geospatial information can be used to maximise the performance/cost ratio. This work will most be simulation based but there will be an opportunity to construct an experimental system.
Interested candidates should hold a first or upper second class honours degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science or a cognate discipline. Applicants who hold research masters in a relevant area are particularly welcomed. This work is inherently multidisciplinary and the successful applicant will need to collaborate with computer scientists, engineers and geographers. Excellence in communications and wireless technologies would be highly valuedas would an open attitude to collaboration outside of one’s comfort zone.
