===============================================
Digital Twin (DT) technology has emerged as a critical enabler for next-generation communication networks. Regarding this, DTs provide real-time synchronization between physical and digital systems and support advanced monitoring, emulation, and optimization capabilities. By bridging the physical and virtual domains, DTs provide novel approaches to design, analyze, and operate complex infrastructures that go far beyond traditional simulation methods. Real-time network monitoring, predictive modelling, proactive management, and what-if simulation are significant examples that highlight DT's potential in the communication domain and beyond. When combined with next-generation mobile communications (5G/6G), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Generative AI (GenAI), Internet of Things (IoT), Transfer Learning (TL), Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Edge/Fog Computing, federated architectures, and microservice-based platforms, DT becomes a foundation to guarantee latency-sensitive, energy-efficient, and secure services. These synergies create opportunities for sustainable and scalable solutions in diverse sectors, from smart cities and agriculture to healthcare, manufacturing, and autonomous systems. This workshop invites original contributions that address all aspects of DT networks, systems, and applications, including theoretical models, system architectures, optimization methods, security mechanisms, and real-world testbeds. By bringing together academia, industry, and standardization bodies, the workshop aims to establish a cross-disciplinary forum to explore the transformative role of DT in shaping sustainable, intelligent, and connected communication infrastructures.

[DMANET] Two PhD Positions in Mathematical Phylogenetics at the University of Auckland, New Zealand

Two PhD Scholarships in Mathematical Phylogenetics

Two full-time PhD scholarships are available in the School of Computer Science at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. The successful applicants will work on combinatorial and algorithmic questions related to phylogenetic networks, which are used to analyse and represent the evolutionary histories of biological entities such as species, viruses, and populations. A particular focus of the two projects are phylogenetic networks with directed and undirected edges. The exact questions to be investigated will be discussed with the PhD students to suit their interests and skillsets.

Requirements.
A successful applicant has a Masters or Honours degree in mathematics or computer science, and a strong background in at least one of graph theory, combinatorics, algorithms, and theoretical computer science. Some knowledge of phylogenetics would be helpful, but is not a strict requirement. Candidates must also be eligible for admission to the PhD program at the University of Auckland. For more information on postgraduate studies at the University of Auckland, see the following link: https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/study/study-options/find-a-study-option/doctor-of-philosophy-phd.html.

Scholarship.
The PhD scholarships are funded by the New Zealand Marsden Fund and available from March 2026 onwards. A starting date is negotiable. Each scholarship is for three years, and covers tuition fees and an annual tax free allowance of NZ$35,000. The successful candidates will be supervised by Dr Simone Linz.

Application.
To apply, please email your CV and academic transcript, a short statement of research interests, and names and contact details of two referees to Simone Linz (s.linz@auckland.ac.nz<mailto:s.linz@auckland.ac.nz>). Informal inquiries can be directed to the same email address. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.
