Research Position in City-Scale Sensor Networks for Urban
Sustainability and Smart Cities


The Intelligent Systems Centre (IntelliSys) at Nanyang Technological
University (NTU) is working on various R&D issues in sensor networks
and cyber-physical systems in order to develop impactful applications
for large-scale deployment in Singapore.

We have developed and deployed several large-scale sensor networks
such as the National Weather Sensor Grid (http://nwsp.ntu.edu.sg),
the WaterWiSe at SG (http://aqueduct.nus.edu.sg/waterwise/), etc in
Singapore.

Building upon our experience and expertise, We are embarking on
ambitious projects to develop and deploy unified city-scale sensor
networks and cyber-physical infrastructures for urban sustainability
and smart cities applications such as environmental monitoring,
water infrastructure monitoring, intelligent transportation, smart
buildings, smart grids, etc.

We are inviting applications for the following research position.
