Main responsibilities
- Main duties and responsibilities
- Simulate optical and mmW/THz properties using simulations software such as COMSOL or CST.
- Characterize samples in the lab.
- Model experimental data from first principles using Matlab/Python codes.
- Write scientific publications, file patents, disseminate work at national and international conferences.
- Maintain collaborations and deliver periodic reports that describe your progress within the project. Profile
- Physics background, strong interest in high-frequency electronics and integrated photonics, nonlinear optics, high-frequency electronics, metrology and/or electro-optic transduction are mandatory.
- Prior experience in any of these fields is a plus, but not mandatory.
- More important is the interest to learn and drive this field as a young scientist in a world-wide research community.
- Knowledgeable in (or interest to learn) Python, Matlab, Labview, Inventor, Illustrator, CST Microwave studio and Comsol.
Application process
- Develop miniaturised millimeterwave/terahertz oscillator and apply them to photonic circuits, together with their driving software/hardware, automatize measurement procedures.
Additional details
- Maintain collaborations and deliver periodic reports that describe your progress within the project.
- Enjoy collaborations with various other scientific groups, take on a leading junior role in international teams.
