One scholarship for full-time PhD studies is offered as part of the prestigious 2022 European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant awarded to Associate Professor Stelios Timotheou for his 5-year, 2-million-euro project “Real-Time Urban Mobility Management via Intelligent UAV-based Sensing (URANUS)”. The URANUS project focuses on real-time, dynamic, and intelligent sensing of vehicular and pedestrian traffic via Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and the use of the collected information for urban mobility management. In this context, a holistic framework for real-time urban mobility monitoring and control, as well as UAV operational planning, will be developed. URANUS is expected to transform our understanding of joint optimization of sensing, monitoring, and control, and lead to step-change improvements in urban traffic mobility with prominent environmental and socioeconomic benefits.

The selected candidate will work under the supervision of Associate Professor Stelios Timotheou (https://www.eng.ucy.ac.cy/stimotheou/), and will enrol in either the Electrical Engineering or the Computer Engineering PhD program of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Cyprus, the top-ranking university of the island and amongst the top-100 Young Universities in the world. The successful candidate is expected to conduct fundamental and/or applied research in the areas of data-driven and/or uncertainty-aware mathematical optimization and control, machine learning and uncertainty quantification with application to intelligent transportation systems and UAV operational planning, at the state-of-the-art facilities of the KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence (KIOS CoE).

The KIOS CoE operates within the University of Cyprus and is a leading research and innovation center in Cyprus and the region on Monitoring, Control, Management, and Security of Critical Infrastructure Systems, employing more than 180 researchers. The Center collaborates strategically with Imperial College, London, as well as with a plethora of local and international industrial, academic and research organizations and other stakeholders on interdisciplinary research and innovation projects.

Scholarship Terms
The scholarship is offered on a yearly contract basis for four years for full-time PhD studies, subject to annual performance evaluation. It includes the University tuition fees and a gross monthly salary starting at €1500. Maternity leave will be granted based on Maternity Protection Law 1997(Ν.100(Ι)/1997), and the existing amendment laws. The scholarship is provisional to admission of the candidate to one of the PhD programs of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Cyprus.

Candidate’s Profile
The applicants should have a B.Sc. (or equivalent) degree in Electrical and/or Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or other relevant field from an accredited institution. An M.Sc. (or equivalent) degree and/or background in Mathematical Optimization and Control Theory, will be considered as an advantage.
