Job description
Integrated photonic systems enable the manipulation of optical signals in microscale components (chips), enabling breakthrough applications in computing, telecommunications, medical diagnostics and more. Yet unavoidable variations induced by microfabrication processes or environmental factors pose a central design challenge in photonics, as they can have a dramatic impact on photonic device performance and yield. To address this challenge, the RDO4IPS project aims to develop generic robust design optimisation approaches for integrated photonics, which can take uncertainties into account as an integral part of the design process. This is expected to result in predictable performance and improved yield while reducing development time and effort. RDO4IPS consists of two PhD subprojects,
addressing component- and system-level design. In close collaboration with the industrial partners, several photonic pilot devices will be optimised, fabricated and characterised to assess the effectiveness of the general methods developed.PhD researchers are expected to generate, publish and promote the research results, in collaboration with the supervising staff and industry partners, and to compile and defend a PhD thesis at the end of the contract period.
Requirements
You have an MSc degree in mechanical/electrical engineering, applied mathematics/physics or a similar subject. Experience with numerical modelling, simulation and programming is essential; experience with integrated photonics design/simulation/fabrication and design optimisation offers a strong advantage. You can work and organise yourself independently, are result-oriented, and have a strong ability to work as part of a team and communicate with others.
This position offers an opportunity to develop your career as researcher in a modern and highly multidisciplinary environment at the frontier of integrated photonics design methods, supported by both industrial and academic partners.
