This position is at the Electro optical communication (ECO) group of the department of Electrical Engineering, part of the COBRA Research Institute of Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands.
We offer an exciting and challenging job in an international environment with excellent opportunities for professional and personal development. The Technical University of Eindhoven (TUE) is a leading technical university and benchmarks with the best universities in the world. A state of the art clean room with cutting edge fabrication technology is complemented by pioneering work on quantum dot technologies and ultrahigh speed photonic circuit research.
The successful candidate will interact with research groups in the Electronic Engineering and Physics departments in a highly interdisciplinary environment. The research program is lead by Vici award recipient Dr Kevin Williams, with extensive interactions across COBRA research groups.
Project description
New forms of power-efficient, photonic integrated circuits are required to address challenges in data networking, computing and sensing. Photonic integration offers massive bandwidths, but the achievable circuit complexity is in its infancy. This research program addresses the key circuit level challenges in realising ultrafast signal processing for multi-Tb/s and THz class solutions. .
This research is embedded in a soon-to-be-started Dutch project Smartlight on next generation integrated photonic circuits solutions for interconnection and signal processing networks. The role of the PhD student will encompass aspects of design, clean room fabrication and assessment.
