Interdisciplinary PhD: User-Centric Wireless Networks and Urban Co-Creation

The PhD will be hosted within the Department of Electrical Engineering (Waves:Core Research and Engineering) and the Department of Architecture (Design and Engineering of Construction and Architecture) at KU Leuven.

The primary research home will be the DRAMCO group, under the supervision of Prof. dr. ir. Gilles Callebaut. DRAMCO specializes in low-power wireless communication, distributed networks, sensing technologies, and experimental validation using advanced infrastructures such as the Techtile testbed.

The Faculty of Architecture brings expertise in spatial design, public space, and humantechnology interaction. This interdisciplinary environment provides access to state-of-the-art measurement equipment, prototyping facilities, and a vibrant network of researchers working on wireless systems, urban design, and citizen-centred innovation.

A unique aspect of this position is its connection to the Creative Makers (CM³) initiative, a long-running interdisc...
