This project will examine how an integrated network of HAPs and LEO satellites can be
used to exploit the wide area coverage from LEO satellites, and the high-capacity density,
low-latency, direct to the user cellular communications, available from constellations of
HAPs, to deliver efficient next generation services, including autonomous driving and
industrial control.
The research will exploit connections with most of the world’s HAPs developers, York’s
membership of the HAPS Alliance, and the University’s new Institute for Safe Autonomy,
which is a £35M investment to establish a UK leading institute in the area.
Entry requirements:
Candidates should have (or expect to obtain) a minimum of a UK upper second class
honours degree (2.1) or equivalent in Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Physics,
Computer Science, Mathematics or a closely related subject.
