Advisor: Any faculty member can act as research advisor

Keywords: Communications, Networks, Transmission systems, Remote Sensing, Signal Processing

The research field Telecommunications is focused on the design and implementation of devices, systems, networks (Internet, wireless networks, optical networks), services, and applications for the transmission and the processing of any type of signals (including audio, video, RADAR) and multimedia information. Particular attention is given to advanced networks and transmission systems for mobile and fixed users and to remote sensing applications aiming at earth observation and sub-soil exploration. The strong connection with leading companies (within and outside the telecommunication market) makes the mix between theory and application one of the strengths of the Telecommunications research field at Politecnico di Milano.

Keywords: Control systems, Dynamics of complex systems, Operations research and discrete optimization, Planning and management of environmental systems, Robotics and industrial automation

The research in this area is devoted to Control Systems Science, Systems Theory, Ecology, and Operations Research. Despite the rich variety of topics, both theoretical and application-oriented, a unifying system level viewpoint is generally adopted, which enables the analysis, the management, and the design of complex systems through the powerful theoretical tools of mathematical modeling. A significant part of the basic and applied research activity, together with advanced teaching, is supported by the experimental facilities available in the laboratories. The section's research activities can be grouped in the following lines: - Control systems: focused on Control design, Model identification and data analysis, Automation of vehicles and transportation systems, Automation of energy systems. - Dynamics of complex systems: focused on Nonlinear dynamical systems, Bifurcation analysis, Emerging collective dynamics in networks of systems. - Operations research and discrete optimization: focused on Mathematical programming, Combinatorial optimization, Stochastic programming, Robust optimization, Bi-level programming and Continuous approximation models. - Planning and management of environmental systems: focused on Mathematical models for quantitative analysis, Computer-based decision support quantitative analysis, Computer-based decision support tools, Sustainable use of resources. - Robotics and industrial automation: focused on Mechatronics, Robotics, Process modeling, simulation and control, Automation of manufacturing systems and industrial plants.

Keywords: Ultra-low power hardware, AI, eyewear frame

The project aims to develop an ultra-low power hardware for biomarkers monitoring, that well fit in eyewear frame and includes sensor fusion and AI to robustly extract biomarkers parameters. The main objectives are: - Design a main-board for power supplies and microcontroller (MCU) that well fit in the eyewear frame - Exploit the MCU ultra-low power operation modes - sensor fusion, photoplethysmography (PPG) and Inertial Measuring Units (IMUs) for motion artifacts mitigation - Sensor fusion between PPG and on-demand ECG to estimate the Blood Pressure (BP) - Explore algorithms and calibration modes for SpO2 estimation - Simple activity recognition embedded in the IMU processing unit
