The Role

Macquarie University’s School of Engineering is seeking a Research Fellow to help develop the next generation of intelligent, self-organising satellite networks. The position contributes to “Brain-in-Space: A Machine Learning Framework for Self-Organizing Low-Earth Orbit Satellite Networks”, funded by the Global Science and Technology Diplomacy Fund.

You will investigate how low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites can operate as intelligent agents, learning to make decisions and coordinate their actions as orbital and traffic conditions change. Your research will combine machine learning, mathematical modelling and algorithm design to enable autonomous operation of large satellite constellations. You will also develop an open-source simulation and benchmarking platform to evaluate these methods under realistic network conditions.

You will work closely with Dr Hazer Inaltekin at Macquarie University and international collaborators including Associate Professor Wonjae Shin at Korea University, Professor Jungwoo Lee at Seoul National University, and…
