Ph.D and M.Tech RA (3 yrs) Requirements

We currently have requirements for Ph.D and M.Tech Research Assistant (3 yrs) programs in the following projects:

 

Project Background and Objective: With the rise of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum etc. Blockchains have become a popular technology. Blockchain is a secure, immutable distributed database (or ledger) where the information is stored as a chain of blocks. This distributed database is maintained in a peer-to-peer network where the copy of the entire blockchain is stored at each node of the system. Realizing the effectiveness of blockchains, they are being used  several other applications apart from cryptocurrencies. For instance, several governments worldwide are considering to use blockchains for automating and securely storing user records such as land sale documents, vehicle records, insurance records, etc.

 

The objective of this proposal is to develop an Efficient Distributed and Secure framework  for the Execution of Smart Contracts in Blockchains by making each peer in the system  parallel and distributed.

 

This project is funded by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), GoI. This is a joint project with Prof. Maria Francis, Prof. Kotaro Kataoka of CSE Department, IIT Hyderabad.

 

 Required Skills: Strong programming in C++/Java. A good understanding of Parallel and/or Distributed Systems is a plus.

 

 

This project is part of National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) project funded by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. candidates will work closely with faculty and post-graduate students at IIT-Hyderabad, IIIT Hyderabad and IISc, Bangalore to architect new graph analytics, temporal/dynamic graph algorithms, parallel and distributed runtime environments, and scheduling algorithms.

 

 Required Skills: Strong programming in C++/Java. A good understanding of Parallel and/or Distributed Systems is a plus.

 

Required Skills: Good understanding of the maths behind computational geometry; Strong programming in C++/Java. A good understanding of Parallel and/or Distributed Systems is a plus.



 

This project is funded by Department of Science and Technology, GoI. This is a joint project  with Prof. Umakanthan Saravanan of Civil Engineering Department, IIT Madras and Prof. Syed Khaderi of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, IIT Hyderabad.

 

Required Skills: Good understanding of the maths behind finite elements; Strong programming in C++/Java. A good understanding of Parallel and/or Distributed Systems is a plus.
