Congratulations to Bogdan Ciubotaru who has been awarded an Embark Postgraduate Research Scholarship.  This scholarship is jointly funded by IRCSET and Microsoft Research as part of the Enterprise Partnership Scheme. 

Bogdan will be working with Dr Gabriel-Miro Muntean of the School of Electronic Engineering and RINCE, DCU.  The title of his project is "Quality-oriented handover scheme for adaptive multimedia streaming in heterogeneous wireless networks environment". 

Background:

The Embark Postgraduate Research Scholarship Scheme is administered by the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET). It applies to Science, Engineering and Technology related research by individuals pursuing Masters or Doctorate qualifications in recognised third level establishments.

All students graduating with higher honours in science, engineering and technology are entitled to apply for funding. A decision to grant funding is based on the student’s academic record, research preparation and a personal statement.

In addition, a number of Enterprise Partnership Scheme Awards are also offered in conjunction with participating industry partners.  As part of this scheme the researcher receives the same financial support as a postgraduate scholar under the normal Embark Initiative Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme. However, they also benefit from expert industry supervision and gain experience of research in an industrial environment.

DCU was also successful in the general Embark Postgraduate Research Scholarship scheme.  Click here for further details.
