The research assistant is responsible for the implementation of the research activities of the Technische Universität Berlin (TUB), focusing on the optimization of disaggregated campus networks, including:

• Analyzing requirements of specialized campus networks and defining and developing appropriate solutions and architectures
• Study of the state of the art in disaggregation of network functions and optimization of software networks
• Development of new algorithms and techniques to optimize data collection and processing, network function placement, robustness, and performance in disaggregated 5G RAN and core network environments Implementation of specific tools to integrate the developed algorithms based on third-party software
• Validating the new developed concepts and mechanisms
• Presentation of the project results in journals, international and national conferences

A PhD thesis preparation stemming from the work is possible and highly suggested.
