| Department: Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering | | Position at UCF: |  E-mail: murat.yuksel@ucf.edu |  Campus Location: Orlando (Main Campus) | | Project Title: Free-space-optical and visible light communications | | Project Description: The free-space-optical communications group at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the University of Central Florida is looking for self-motivated undergraduate research students. The selected candidates will perform cutting-edge research in optical wireless (free-space-optical) communications and networking. They will have the opportunity to work with equipments such as Drones/UAVs/Quadcopters, USRPs, Raspberry PIs, etc. Some earlier publications related to this project are listed below.http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7503781/?arnumber=7503781http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7552495/http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2799656http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2801077http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1570870512001515http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2801077
| | Student Responsibilities: The candidates are expected to meet the following criteria:- Pursuing B.S. degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering.- Strong background in mathematics and alytical thinking.- Good hardware prototyping skills.- Good programming and software integration skills.- Background in communication networks is desirable, but interested candidates from other areas are also welcome.- Knowledge of (or interest in) optical wireless communications and networking is a big plus.- Ability to pursue independent research.- Ability to work in an inter-discipliry team. | | Student Requirements: Work with grad students and faculty to develop toy prototypes using optoelectronic components. Perform experimental tests and measure performance of communication and networking efficiency of various prototypes. | | Type of Project: Individual | | Possibility of Payment: Yes | | Number of Students: 2 |
