Undergraduate Research Assistant (WiSEMAN)
About The Position
The Research Assistant will work under supervision and will be responsible for assisting in running and managing an on-going mobile autonomous vehicle networks-based research project. This project aims to establish a solid theoretical foundation to develop a testbed for the optimized design and deployment of energy-efficient and secure mobile autonomous vehicle networks, while considering heterogeneous vehicles and the “malicious” vehicles. This theoretical foundation and the resulting testbed will help ensure energy-efficient connectivity of homogeneous (using ground OR aerial vehicles) mobile autonomous vehicle networks, secure communications of mobile homogeneous autonomous vehicle networks in the presence of “malicious” vehicles, and energy-efficient and secure connectivity and communications of mobile autonomous vehicle networks, while accounting for heterogeneous vehicles (ground AND aerial vehicles) and “malicious” vehicles.
