[Giuseppe Bianchi < >]

Per vostra informazione, ove foste direttamente 
interessati o conosceste qualche VALIDO studente 
vostro amico appena laureato, che ha voglia di 
farsi una seria esperienza di modellistica delle 
reti nella piovosa Irlanda. Ma a parte le 
condizioni ambientali (che comunque temprano 
;-)), il vantaggio e' che il gruppo ospitante e' 
veramente ad altissimo livello scientifico.


> MSc/PhD Positions: Mathematics of Future 
> Wireless Networks, Hamilton Institute, Ireland
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Basic Description
>
> Applications are invited for a number of 
> postgraduate research positions at the Hamilton 
> Institute in the National University of Ireland, 
> Maynooth.   The Hamilton Institute is a 
> multi-disciplinary research centre that seeks to 
> provide a bridge between mathematics and its 
> applications in ICT and biology.  Successful 
> candidates will join one of the largest, 
> internationally recognized and most active 
> networking research groups in Ireland.
>
> Wireless networks are not only ubiquitous and of 
> great economic importance to modern society, but 
> also the source of many of the fundamental 
> scientific challenges faced by modern 
> communication networks.  A key feature of modern 
> networks is their scale and complexity and at 
> the Hamilton Institute we are developing 
> new  mathematical methods to gain insight and 
> understanding.   We combine this theoretical 
> analysis with cutting-edge experimental work, 
> and it is this combination that is one of the 
> distinguishing features of the Hamilton 
> Institute and that is allowing us to advance 
> understanding in scientifically challenging areas of practical significance.
>
> Graduate students at the institute are embedded 
> in a vibrant, stimulating research environment 
> and gain a unique education from leading 
> researchers, positioning them well for their 
> career development.   The institute has a very 
> active international visitor programme and 
> provides the opportunity for international and 
> industry exchange visits.  Our Network Maths 
> initiative is part of our structured PhD 
> programme where leading international 
> researchers provide specialist postgraduate 
> modules to support our research students.
