Netherlands : PhD positions Electronic Systems group

The ES group is world-renowned for its design automation and embedded systems research. It is our ambition to provide a scientific basis for design trajectories of digital electronic circuits and embedded systems. Highlights relevant to the PhD include:

- computational modelling & model-driven design flows: dataflow analysis, scenario-aware dataflow, Pareto algebra, design-space exploration, multiprocessor mapping, schedule synthesis, software synthesis, high-level and logic synthesis;

- parallel & multiprocessor architectures: application-specific multiprocessors, SIMD & VLIW architectures, GPUs, real-time networks on chip, memory controllers, and SOCs;

- system-level design solutions: real-time systems, virtualization, mixed-criticality applications, adaptivity for energy, power, variability, and thermal constraints, system scenarios.

Our research results in tools and platforms such as SDF3, MAMPS, CompSOC, and DRAMPower. The ES group has been very successful in attracting funding for its research through national and international projects and collaborations.
