Internships
More specifically: 1. High Speed Networks and Optical Communications The prospective applicant will work on the topic of Next Generation Optical Access (NGA) networks in the framework of relevant EU projects. Work in this project will focus on the performance evaluation of novel Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols for NGA networks using the Opnet modeler tool. Prerequisites: Computer networks, Knowledge of OpNet simulation platform. 2. Broadband Wireless and Sensor Networks B-WiSE lab would like to request one intern in the area of scheduling for cognitive wireless networks. "Transmitter - Receiver Synchronization over an Indoor Wireless MIMO Testbed" The goal of this project is to achieve and successfully demonstrate the good synchronization of a transmitter and a receiver of a wireless MIMO testbed that AIT's B-WiSE research lab possesses. Currently the two units are synchronized using a common (wired) clock reference. The transmitter and receiver units are also equipped with GPS units; however, these have not been tested yet and their operation might be problematic in the lab's indoor environment. The project will include the following steps: 1) Understanding the current way that synchronization is achieved Prerequisites: The candidate should have a basic understanding of digital communication systems, as well as wireless transmission. 3. Software Systems The Software Systems Group does cutting edge research and development in all abstractions of software systems from operating systems to middleware infrastructures and services to high level web services. One of the projects currently running by the SSG is the mapping of several of the internal processes of a typical research organization like AIT to state of the art web services that will provide support for the automation of several such processes in an integrated Participating in the above project will allow successful interns to enhance their skills on building large scale complex systems and/or their components in a methodological and modular manner, and testing and integrating them to existing functional systems. Prerequisites: 4. Network Design and Services The Network Design and Services (NDS) group is conducting research in preparation of a Future Internet that will allow for true differentiated quality levels and dependability, exhibit a small energy footprint and provide for seamless user mobility through integration of wired-wireless technologies. The NDS group offers the opportunity to an excellent intern to be actively involved in one of the hot research problems it is currently working on. Prerequisites: The intern should be self-motivated, possess elementary functional programming (e.g. C programming) skills, preferably with prior exposure at undergraduate level to communication networks and/or optimization. Intern will be given the opportunity to experience the full cycle of tackling a research problem, from studying state of the art and brainstorming on/proposing a solution approach, up to conducting experiments and reporting important findings and results. Ideally, the internship will be topped by submission of the research outcome to a related journal or conference.
The prospective applicant will be asked to work on the development of a system for patient health monitoring and real-time response using sensor networks. Work in this project will include the following: - Attach commercially available Micro Power Oximeter Boards on MICA2 sensor nodes and use them to collect patient oxygen saturation readings for the system. The oximeter also takes pulse rate measurements. - Once the readings will have been received, the sensor node will communicate with the network and transmit them to the base station, where they will be stored in a data base. If the values exceed the normal levels an alert will be issued. - The system should allow new sensors to be introduced at the system at runtime. - Eventually, the user (the patient’s doctor) should be also able to query the sensor node (i.e. Prerequisites: Sensor networks, Programming in TinyOS. Logistics: A stipend of 300 euros per month will be offered to each intern. Accommodation at the AIT dormitory in a shared room (walking distance from AIT http://www.ait.edu.gr/ait_web_site/facilities.jsp) and one daily meal at the AIT restaurant are also covered. Interns will be expected to organize and fund their own travel to and from Greece to take part in this program. Candidates for the specific groups are requested to send their curriculum vitae along with their request to lbar [ a_t ] ait.edu.gr . All internship requests will be reviewed by the respective group coordinators. Interns will be selected and informed about the decision by the end of March. Interns selected will be required to submit the following documents:
AIT will assist the selected interns in obtaining a visa, in order to be able to travel to Greece. You may find further information on life in Athens and necessary logistics at http://www.ait.edu.gr/ait_web_site/international_students.jsp Deadline of applications: March 22, 2010. For further information or questions you may contact Students' Views "Unique at concept; a versatile curriculum that justifies today’s business continuum and technology diversity. Teaching staff of the highest caliber, extraordinary facilities and methods, meet participants who bring mass cross-industry experience. You may only joy a high in return personal investment. Strongly recommended for someone seizing distinguished post-graduate studies."

AIT's Dr. A. Tzanakaki joins CHIST-ERA ERANET Scientific Advisory Board 2010-07-14 AIT Associate Professor Dr. A. Tzanakaki was elected at the Scientific Advisory Board of CHIST-ERA ERANET, a European Coordinated Research on Long term Challenges in Information and Communication Sciences & Technologies ERA-Net. "My-e-Director 2012" project meeting in London 2010-07-14
AIT's researcher Mr Andreas Stergiou represented AIT at the "My-e-Director 2012” consortium and integration meetings in London UK, on July 12-14, 2010. My eDirector 2012 is a European Project that deals with Real-Time Context-Aware and Personalized Media Streaming Environments for Large Scale Broadcasting Applications. Bell Labs offer prestigious internship to AIT PhD candidate 2010-07-01 The prestigious Bell Labs accepted AIT's PhD candidate Osama Al Rabadi as a summer intern. Mr. Al Rabadi will spend three months researching at Bell Labs' Wireless Research Lab, New Jersey, USA. AIT welcomes Summer School 2010 students 2010-06-29 More than 30 students are attending this year's international Summer School titled “Pervasive Networks and the Web of Things”. |
