New generations of radar offer better range and finer spatial resolution, making radar useful not only for geometric scene understanding, but also for motion reasoning through Doppler measurements.\nAt the same time, 4D radar data can contain significant multipath artifacts. These effects can produce false detections with incorrect position, incorrect Doppler, or both, often appearing as ghost objects. Such errors can degrade downstream perception and motion estimation if not handled robustly.\nThis creates an important research opportunity: developing methods that identify and suppress multipath-induced false positives while preserving true dynamic and static targets.\nObjective\n\nThe objective of this thesis is to investigate methods for classifying and removing false 4D radar returns caused by multipath propagation in autonomous driving scenarios. The final research questions will be defined together with the student based on literature, available data, and project direction. Possible directions include:\nCharacterizing multipath failure modes in modern 4D radar data.\n\nDesigning models or feature pipelines to distinguish valid returns from ghosts.\n\nLeveraging spatial, Doppler and temporal cues for robust filtering.\n\nComparing classical signal-processing and machine-learning approaches.\n\nEvaluating the impact of filtering on downstream tasks such as odometry, motion estimation, or occupancy prediction.\n\nThe Project Offers\n\nWork on a high-impact topic at the intersection of radar sensing and autonomous driving.\n\nAccess to real-world driving data and computational resources.\n\nClose supervision and collaboration in an active research environment.\n\nOpportunity to contribute methods that can improve robustness of future AD systems.\n\nPotential for scientific publication depending on outcomes.\n\nWho are we looking for?\n\nWe are looking for one or two motivated Master’s students in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Robotics, Applied Mathematics, or related fields.\nExperience in one or more of the following is beneficial:\nMachine learning or deep learning\n\nSignal processing\n\nComputer vision or multimodal perception\n\nProbabilistic modeling and data analysis\n\nPython and PyTorch\n\nAutonomous driving, robotics, or sensor fusion\n\nThe planned thesis start is January 2027.\nNumber of students: 1\nStart date for the thesis work: [To be agreed]\nEstimated time required: 20 weeks, full time (30 credits)\nContact persons and supervisors\n\nAjinkya Khoche, ; Jonny Andersson, \nHiring Manager: Magnus Granström, \nApplication\n\nYour application must include a CV, personal letter, and transcript of grades.\nA background check might be conducted for this position.
