In Australia, ACMA licenses radio spectrum to private companies, these licenses define what parts of the radio spectrum companies can use in which locations. In order to improve ACMA’s ability to track how the spectrum is actually being used we want to consider using Low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, equipped with sensors for detecting radio spectrum usage. This will be a modelling & simulation-based project focused on the optimisation of satellite dwell times deployed in satellite constellations to gather information about terrestrial signals. Your task will be
To design a model to simulate the satellites
Apply genetic evolutionary algorithms to optimise the dwell times of satellites whilst accounting for factors such as: power consumption, mission cost, probability of detection etc.
This project will be done in conjunction with Swordfish Computing (www.swordfish.com.au). There will be employment opportunities for a student who performs well on the project. Australian citizenship necessary.

Note: You need to register interest in projects from different supervisors (not a number of projects with the one supervisor).
You must also contact each supervisor directly to discuss both the project details and your suitability to undertake the project.
