IMDEA Networks Pervasive Wireless System Group headed by Prof. Domenico Giustiniano invites applications for one PostDoc position in the area of LiFi technology for Internet of Small Things. As IoT devices are getting miniaturized, new challenges must be addressed to communicate, compute and sense. As a member of the team, the researchers will investigate LiFi for miniaturized IoT devices. The PostDoc will work in a new EU project that has been just accepted. See also the work done with the OpenVLC platform (www.openvlc.org).
