Queensland Quantum Challenge 2032 PhD Scholarship

We are seeking highly motivated and talented PhD candidates to join our research team working in a research project at Central Queensland University (CQU) funded by QLD State Government. Our research focuses on the forefront of ML-empowered network optimization, quantum communication, and cybersecurity, aiming to push the boundaries of current technologies and develop effective methods to support secure real-time group communications targeted for application in sport venues of large-size games including the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Research Areas:

1) Network Optimization: Develop advanced ML-empowered algorithms and protocols for optimizing network performance, reliability, and efficiency.

2) Quantum Communication: Explore the development and deployment of new software-defined network control for quantum networks, including quantum optical communication methods and satellite-based quantum networks.

3) Cybersecurity: Investigate post-quantum cryptographic systems and quantum-enhanced network security to ensure robust protection against emerging threats.
