Postdoc Radar Sensing

Updated: over 1 year ago
Job Type: Temporary
Deadline: 01 Feb 2023

We have the ambition to investigate innovative techniques for separation and tracking of multiple persons in an indoor environment using radar systems. Information on what activities a person is doing, where, and when, can help understand his/her physical and cognitive status and identify anomalies possibly related to worsening health.

Why radar? Radar has the advantage of being contactless, requiring end-users not to wear any extra device or interact with them, hence increasing comfort and compliance, as well as not recording plain optical videos or images, which might raise privacy objections, especially in private home environments.

While radar sensing in the context of human activity recognition (HAR), assisted living, and indoor monitoring has been explored in recent years, considerable challenges remain, especially in a multi-target scenario.

You will work in a joint project between TU Delft and a leading industrial partner in communication and sensing technologies. You will investigate algorithms for separation and clustering of micro-Doppler signatures of multiple persons, and for tracking and maintaining labelling in the event of grouping and spawning (essentially, “who is who” before/after very close meeting up of multiple persons).

You will be also responsible for

  • Formulating novel algorithms for the abovementioned problem of separation and tracking of multiple persons.
  • Experimentally verifying methods with short-range radars.
  • Performing research according to the project plan.
  • Preparing and writing all project deliverables within the project.

You will work in the Microwave Sensing Signals and Systems (MS3) research group at the Department of Microelectronics (see radar.tudelft.nl). The group has extensive research facilities and track record on the full pipeline of microwave and radar sensing, from hardware development to radar signal processing and methods for automatic object classification.
