PhD Project (UK Students Only) in Optically Controlled Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits

University of Bristol · School of Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering · United Kingdom

About this position

We are working on creating a new type of Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuit technology based on optically induced plasmas in silicon to create photo-conductive switches. This combines low-cost lasers with silicon integrated circuits, fabricated in-house, to make best-in-class switches, attenuators and phase shifters. The technology is very broadband (measured to 250GHz), high power (tested to 20Watts) and very linear with extremely low intermodulation products.

This website outlines the technology advantages : www.plasmaris.com

This PhD project aims to continue the more than 10 years of research work that has been carried out at Bristol. It aims to move the technology to more scalable packaging and involves electromagnetic modelling, cleanroom fabrication and on-wafer probe testing.

You will be working in the group of Professor Martin Cryan and will be a member of the Photonics and Quantum Research group which comprises around 50 Academics, Post-doctoral researchers and PhD students with access to world class design, fabrication and testing facilities.

If you are excited about the unique opportunity to work at the cutting edge of RF to millimetrewave integrated circuit technology you should apply for this project.

Revolutionising Infection Diagnosis Through Targeted Radiometal Imaging Background of the Project: People with conditions like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, organ transplants, or immunodeficiencies face higher risks of infection, complications, and death. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is vital to improve outcomes in these vulnerable groups. However, clinical diagnosis of microbial infections is often challenging, and noninvasive methods tend to perform poorly. Existing lab techniques typically require invasive sample collection, followed by time-consuming culture and antibiotic resistance t
