计算机和系统科学博士生，重点研究物联网和机器学习

The Department of Computer and Systems Sciences. With over 200 employees and 4,500 students, the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) is a strong and dynamic research and educational environment. The discipline of computer and systems sciences bridges the gap between technology and the humanities, social sciences, and behavioral sciences, with great relevance to our lives today and in the future. Our research addresses how new information and communication technology should be designed to benefit people, organizations and entire societies. DSV offers a stimulating research community in an international environment. As a doctoral student at DSV, you study together with many other doctoral students, collaborate with senior research colleagues and get connected to other researchers in Sweden and abroad. DSV’s location is Stockholm University's campus in Kista, north of central Stockholm. More information about us, please visit: the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences . Project description Resource-Efficient On-Device AI/ML for IoT Systems This PhD project investigates resource-efficient multimodal machine learning for intelligent Internet of Things systems. It will explore models that integrate sensor time series, images, audio, video, and text to support real-time, context-aware decision-making on constrained devices. The research will examine multimodal data fusion, compact vision-language and time-series models, quantization, model compression, hardware-aware optimization, and adaptive inference. It will also investigate subgroup identification, subgroup fairness, and group-level counterfactual methods for detecting and mitigating biases across users, devices, environments, and operating conditions. Cloud-edge processing will be considered when fully local execution becomes impractical. Intelligent data-exchange mechanisms and data protocols will support efficient device communication. Potential applications include smart buildings, industrial systems, wearable-data analysis, environmental monitoring, and decision-support systems for assisted and autonomous driving. The project is part of a vibrant academic community with a strong international network, offering opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, seminars, and scientific exchange within both academia and industry. In addition to a competitive salary and wellness benefits, the candidate is offered strong support for academic development, including funding for books, conference travel, and professional growth opportunities. Qualification requirements In order to be admitted to postgraduate education, the applicant must have the general and specific entry requirements. The qualification requirements must be met by the deadline for applications. You meet general entry requirements if you have completed a second-cycle degree, or completed courses equivalent to at least 240 higher education credits, of which 60 credits must be in the second cycle, or have otherwise acquired equivalent knowledge in Sweden or elsewhere. Specific entry requirements are described in the general syllabus for doctoral studies in the field of Computer and Systems Sciences and state that the applicant must have completed courses at second-cycle level in Computer and Systems Sciences with a minimum of 60 higher education credits or equivalent. The applicant must also have completed a degree project (thesis) of at least 15 higher education credits. In addition, the applicant is required to have English language skills equivalent of Common European Framework of Reference for Languages Level B2. Selection The selection among the eligible candidates will be based on their capacity to benefit from the training. The following criteria will be used to assess this capacity: • Independence in the analysis and organization of the earlier scientific work • Problem formulation and rigor in previous scientific work and in the research plan • Previously shown ability to keep the specified time limits • Methodological and scientific maturity • Communication and cooperation skills • Subject specific knowledge relevant to education.

Admission Regulations for Doctoral Studies at Stockholm University. About the employment We offer a fixed-term employment as a doctoral student according to Chapter 5 of the Higher Education Ordinance (1993:100). The period of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education for four years. As a doctoral student, you should primarily devote yourself to your own doctoral education, but the employment may include work with education, research and administration to a limited extent (maximum 20 %). A new employment as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, the employment is then renewed for a maximum of two years at a time. Stockholm University strives to be a workplace free from discrimination and with equal opportunities for all.
