Title:  Scholarship for a  PhD student  in the field of computational electrodynamics

Offer Description: This is a scholarship for a PhD student 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:

  1. Research related to model order reduction techniques for accelerated solution of Maxwell’s equations using FEM
  2. Development of algorithms and  prototypes of  numerical code (with  an option to be made the code publicly  available under a permissive open source license)
  3. Testing and benchmarking of algorithms and procedures
  4. Development of test designs using FEM code
  5. Report writing
  6. Preparation of research papers  for  leading journals and conferences.
  7. Dissemination of project results on workshops and conferences
  8. Assisting MSc and BSc  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:

  1. Documented research  experience with the  finite element method  for Maxwell’s equations
  2. Good knowledge of  the model order reduction technique
  3. Documented programming experience in Matlab and C++
  4. Interest in computational electromagnetics

Required Languages:

  1. Fluent English

Required Research Experience

  1. Publication record and MSc related to computational electromagnetics

Research field: Engineering, Electrical engineering, electronics, Information and Communication Technologies
