PhD position in Beam Steering for Terahertz Signals by Using Hybrid Photonic-Electronic Techniques

jobbeskrivelse:
The Technical University of Denmark has an open PhD position (early-stage researcher) in the H2020 MSCA ITN CELTA project. CELTA is the acronym for Convergence of Electronics and Photonics Technologies for Enabling Terahertz Applications (http://www.celta-itn.eu). CELTA aims to produce the next generation of researchers who will enable Europe to take a leading role in the multidisciplinary area of utilising Terahertz technology for applications involving components and complete systems for sensing, instrumentation, imaging, spectroscopy, and communications. Description of PhD project Beam steering is referred to as the ability to adjust the beam pointing, both in position and angle, of radiation of emitted signals. Beam steering is a crucial functionality required for several applications. In CELTA, however, we will focus on beam steering of Terahertz signals for imaging, sensing and communications. One particular challenge is related to the broad bandwidth nature of such wireless signals for data transmission and the required dynamicity for end-user communication purposes. In this project, we will explore a number of approaches based on the combination of technologies such as multicarrier optical sources, multicore optical fibre and hybrid photonic-electronic and digital signal processing. The result of this project will be part of one of the three prototypes that all early-stage researchers (ESRs) in CELTA will jointly develop and demonstrate by the end of the ITN action. During the project, the PhD candidate will get closely in contact with the other CELTA consortium groups, including an extended research stay at Technical University Darmstadt in Germany. In order to get in contact with industry, the ESR will be collaborating with the CELTA partners Alight Technologies and Keysight Technologies. Qualifications The candidate should have a master's degree in electrical, electronics, applied physics, telecommunications, photonics engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master's degree. A solid background in optics and photonics is an asset, electronics and wireless communications and signal processing is important, some knowledge of fiber optics an advantage. We expect the candidate to have laboratory skills in one or more areas related to optics, photonics, telecommunications, and electronics. Good communication skills in written and spoken English is a must. Starting date is autumn 2016 or earlier. Approval and Enrolment The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide. Assessment The assessment of the applicants will be made by Professor Idelfonso Tafur Monroy, email idtm (at) fotonik.dtu.dk. We offer We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation, which contributes to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare. We strive for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a leading technical university in northern Europe and benchmarks with the best universities in the world. Salary and appointment terms The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years. All ESRs will take part in a secondment to at least one other project partner for up to 30% of their appointment period. Mobility Allowances and Family Allowances (dependant on family circumstances) are payable to ESRs.
