About this position

Are you fascinated by nonreciprocal photonics? Design dynamically modulated, on-chip metamaterials for nonreciprocal light control, with secondments at INESC MN and PICadvanced, Portugal.

Information

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate with a background in photonics, optics, or nanofabrication to contribute to SPARK Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral network. The candidate will develop chip-scale metamaterials with time-varying modulation for nonreciprocal photonic devices. The project involves theoretical and numerical design of dynamically modulated structures, on-chip fabrication using advanced nanolithography, and experimental demonstration of nonreciprocal light transport, with the aim of realizing dynamically modulated metamaterials for nonreciprocal light control and integrating them into photonic circuits for optical communication and quantum applications.

The PhD candidate will work within the Photonic Integration group at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology, co-supervised by Prof. M. Piccardo at INESC MN, Portugal. The candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary, international team within the SPARK MSCA Doctoral network, working alongside PhD students and researchers on related nonreciprocal and photonic integration technologies, with close collaboration across design, fabrication, and characterization.

The research and secondment activities will be supported by a 6-month stay at INESC MN, Portugal, focused on component measurements, and a 3-month stay at PICadvanced for chip-level integration, giving the candidate direct access to complementary expertise and facilities across the consortium.

Meedoen aan spel en sport helpt kinderen om later optimaal mee te doen in de samenleving. Het zorgt ervoor dat ze zich goed voelen, versterkt hun zelfvertrouwen, en draagt bij aan lichamelijke én mentale gezondheid. De stedelijke fysieke ruimte, wordt echter vaak niet ontworpen met oog op inclusie. De behoeften van kinderen met een beperking of chronische ziekte om samen te spelen en sporten worden vaak vergeten. In
