Research Fellow (109361-1024)

This is a re-advertisement. Previous candidates for this role need not apply.

Location: University of Warwick Campus, Coventry

Duration: Ending 31 March 2025

About the Role  

For informal enquiries, please contact Ligang He (Associate Professor) at Ligang.He@warwick.ac.uk. 

This research will use dynamic graphs to model applications’ fluctuating resource demands in EFCC. Further, a hypergraph model will be constructed to link individual dynamic graphs with the overarching graph of the EFCC infrastructure. Other abstract graphs can be derived from the hypergraph to capture specific aspects of resource allocation. With the graph modelling, a federated GNN (Graph Neural Network) framework will be developed to learn applications’ features in resource demands, potential energy consumption and carbon emissions.

This is an EPSRC funded project in close collaboration with University of Warwick, University of Lancaster, University of Exeter, Northumbria University and Durham University. You will join the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick, led by Dr. Ligang He.

About You

Suitable candidates will have at least a 2.1 Honours degree or equivalent in a Computer Science-related field. We are looking for candidates with a strong background in one or more of the following areas: distributed AI, graph analysis and processing, and networks.
