Secondments: Great opportunity to gain experience and build networks
One exciting part of being Marie Skłodowska–Curie Action (MSCA) ESR is its secondments, where you find the opportunity to temporary move to other institutes and do research in a new environment. Based on your project, it is possible to experience working and doing research in two different places (both in academia and industry), which is a great…
A short intro on Cell-Free Massive MIMO: Uniform Service for Everyone
The wireless communication community has proposed several different technologies to support increasing service demands from the first (1G) to fifth generation (5G). One obvious way to increase the network coverage and rate is densification: increasing the number of serving base stations (BSs) or increasing the number of antennas in each BS. In wireless communication terminology,…
More humanoid agents with Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning
As you may have guessed from its name, Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL) is a family of Reinforcement Learning algorithms that decompose the problem into different hierarchies of subproblems or subtasks, and the higher-qlevel tasks invoke the primitive lower-level tasks. The goal of HRL is to learn a multilayer policy to perform control at different levels…
How COVID-19 affected my research career
Picking a topic for this blog article really was a struggle. I had so many different ideas – a typical day in Ph.D. life, the experiences of working in a multicultural and international environment, moving to a foreign country, living abroad, cultural diversity, … . But then I thought: why not talk about the world’s…
