Each of the 12 ESRs will be working towards a unique joint PhD degree awarded by all six universities. 

JOB DESCRIPTION

 Impact of low frequency radiated emissions on communication networks Modelling the propagation and aggregation including statistical properties

Objectives: Development of efficient methods of modelling the impact on communication systems including statistical variability and optimisation techniques in the presence of uncertainty (such as point estimation and univariate and bivariate reduction). Modelling of conducted emissions and harmonics in systems with stochastic loads and sources taking into consideration different probability distributions and correlation between variables. Determination of the system critical points for conducted emissions and harmonics. Development of optimisation techniques for distribution systems with uncertain variables
