Offer Description: This is a PhD student position in a research project: Electromagnetic Design of flexIble SensOrs. The goal of the project is to engage young PhDs and students in the development of a new and highly innovative commercial product based on groundbreaking research: a software package that will enable companies to carry out fast and accurate simulation-based design of sensing devices and their associated passive circuitry with carefully engineered electromagnetic properties.
Key responsibilities include:
- Research related to model order reduction techniques for accelerated solution of Maxwell’s equations using FEM
- Development of algorithms and prototypes of numerical code (with an option to be made the code publicly available under a permissive open source license)
- Testing and benchmarking of algorithms and procedures
- Development of test designs using FEM code
- Report writing
- Preparation of research papers for leading journals and conferences.
- Dissemination of project results on workshops and conferences
- Assisting MSc students
Required Education Level: PhD student (a person who has the status of a third-cycle student) in area of electronics/physics/communications and related to computational electromagnetics
Skills/Qualifications:
- Documented research experience with the finite element method for Maxwell’s equations
- Good knowledge of the model order reduction technique
- Documented programming experience in Matlab (or C++)
- Interest in computational electromagnetics
