3. PhD candidates in MetaCognitive Radar: Next generation of Cognitive Radar
Summary of Doctoral Project:
During the past two decades, enabling cognition in radar has heralded a new era of radar system design and engineering. Cognitive radars (CRs), offer advanced sensing capabilities by simultaneously optimizing both transmit and receive processing in response to the changes in the target environment. In general, a cognitive radar is designed to apply a single specific framework or algorithm to achieve its desired performance based on a pre-determined criteria. Since radars perform a multitude of tasks such as detection, estimation and tracking, in practice, a single cognitive radar framework is insufficient to address changes in the system hardware and channel environment over long periods of time. In such cases, there has been recent efforts on going beynd the current cognitive framework leading to the emerging concept of metacognitive radar. Similar to cognition, the concept of metacognition is also borrowed from neurobiology where it denotes the process of knowing and controlling cognition. This confluence of control and learning theories in cognitive radars is a more recent development driven by the challenges in implementing advanced detection, estimation, and classification features. Considering the importance of metacognition in radar, the SPARC group has envisaged a research project and managed to acquire research funding for a PhD position.

4. PhD candidates – Spontaneous Applications for Next Generation Radar Sensing Networks
Summary of Doctoral Project:
The group has been working on next generation radar sensors in different applications, including automotive, autonomous vehicles, in-cabin monitoring, occupancy sensing, drones, multi-copters, gesture recognition, smart buildings, smart street lighting, smart factories, healthcare and robotics. The emerging radar sensors that are in use by the group, are using multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology and can be connected to build distributed and co-operative sensing networks. SPARC group has further expanded its research to integrated sensing and communications, weather radar systems and metacognitive radars,. To develop the signal processing techniques, the group researchers are using real data captured by the available radar modules at the lab, or the custom built MIMO radar with flexibility of changing the transmit waveform and signal processing units on the fly. Its members have been involved in a number of seminal papers in the area of waveform optimization, vital signs monitoring, joint radar and communications, sparse arrays, interference modeling, 4D radar imaging, distributed sensing, and tracking. SPARC has also collaborating with long term industry partner IEE S.A (www.iee.lu) , University of Naples Federico II, US Airforce Laboratories, TU Berlin and TU Munich among others.

6. PhD candidate in Machine Learning for Digital Twin in Aerospace Industry
Summary of Doctoral Project:
In this context, the PhD candidate will be in charge of investigating innovative Machine Learning (ML)-based solutions and methodologies to predict the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of the aircraft structure [Ra19] using, among other data sources, the data generated by the “smart skin” during the operational phase, and communicate the estimations to the end-user in the form of actionable maintenance indications. Several scientific challenges will be addressed in this PhD, spanning from the necessity to efficiently and optimally cope with (i) imbalanced data [DA22] by e.g. generating synthetic data using GAN/transformers; (ii) possible model drifts over time [Lu18] by e.g. developing ‘vigilance’ mechanisms to detect them and trigger appropriate actions (e.g., rising alerts to operators, model re-training, etc.); or still to cope with (iii) the lack of transparency and explainability of existing ML techniques [Sa19] by e.g. implementing and comparing existing eXplainable AI (XAI) frameworks when dealing with aircraft PdM and time series, and, if needed, to adapt them to our problem.

9. Doctoral candidate (PhD student) in the field of contemporary history/history of technology
Summary of Doctoral Project:
Historians have only recently started to investigate the period “after the boom”. Western societies experienced dramatic economic, societal and cultural changes since the industrial crisis of the 1970s and the following massive structural changes. In 1975, Luxembourg was hit by the steel crisis and the country’s largest employer, the steel company ARBED, threatened to cut back production and jobs at large. In the following decades, the country was oscillating between the management of industrial decline and a new boom in finance and service economy. The envisioned project will take Esch-Belval as a point of departure to investigate Luxembourg’s history after the boom. The former iron and steel works of Belval, built in 1909/11, largely refurbished and expanded after the Second World War, was partly closed in the late 1990s and transformed into a new urban district. Today, it hosts the campus of the University of Luxembourg. The project will investigate the structural changes in the country since the steel crisis, taking the entangled regional, national and transnational developments into its focus.
