Prof Vinny Cahill holds a Personal Chair in Computer Science at Trinity College Dublin. Prof Cahill has previously served as the University's Dean & Vice-President for Research, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Mathematics and Science - one of the University's three faculties, and in a number of other roles.

Prof. Cahill's research addresses many aspects of distributed systems, in particular, middleware and programming models for mobile, ubiquitous and autonomic computing with application to optimization of urban resource usage and service delivery in order to improve the quality of life and sustainability of cities.

Open Research Positions

Together with my colleagues I am currently recruiting for the following positions:

• Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to investigate the use of deep reinforcement learning and swarm intelligence techniques to optimize urban and highway traffic in the presence of autonomated and conventional vehicles (Closing date for applications: September 16th 2024.).
• Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to investigate protocols for cooperative behaviour planning for autonomated vehicles that are both reliable and locally consistent and to determine their impact on the performance of safety-critical Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (CITS) applications under lossy wireless and mixed traffic conditions(Closing date for applications: September 16th 2024.).
• Student Internships contributing to the SFI-funded ClearWay project which is exploring reinforcement learning as a strategy for active management of roads (especially highways).
  Closing date: 12.00noon BST on Monday the 27th of May 2024.
