PhD Position in Metasurfaces for Energy-Efficient Wave-Based Computing

We are seeking a talented and motivated candidate for an open PhD position on Wave-based computing with programmable optical metasurfaces as part of the Dutch consortium NL-ECO on energy-efficient computing.

Work Activities

The successful candidate will perform experiments addressing the following questions:

  • Suppose optical signals are encoded in space like an image, in wavelength and polarization. How do you then design metasurfaces to perform common image processing steps, nowadays done on a PC, optimally in the optical domain? Can you use metasurfaces for all-optical feature extraction? What are the limits to stacking metasurfaces for more complicated algorithms?
  • Can we realize programmable, trainable and dynamically reconfigurable metasurfaces? Can you switch between metasurface functions by incorporating suitable materials? If so, what are the limits in energy and speed? Can you train such active metasurfaces to realize all-optical neural network functions?
Qualifications

We seek an excellent candidate with a master's degree in physics, photonics, materials science, or a related field. You are enthusiastic about doing experiments, but also interested in the theoretical underpinnings of those experiments. You have strong social, organizational and communication skills, and are eager to engage with colleagues in your own field, and with the larger Dutch community working on energy-efficient computing.

Work Environment

The position is part of a collaborative effort involving the groups of dr. S. Rodriguez, Prof. F. Koenderink, and Prof. E. Verhagen. The successful candidate will have their home base in the group of dr. Said Rodriguez, but is expected to collaborate with all involved partners.

Working Conditions
  • The working atmosphere at the institute is largely determined by young, enthusiastic, mostly foreign employees. Communication is informal and runs through short lines of communication.
  • The position is intended as full-time (40 hours / week, 12 months / year) appointment in the service of the Netherlands Foundation of Scientific Research Institutes (NWO-I) for the duration of four years.
  • The starting salary is 2.781 Euros gross per month and a range of employment benefits.
  • After successful completion of the PhD research a PhD degree will be granted at a Dutch University.
  • Several courses are offered, specially developed for PhD-students.
  • AMOLF assists any new foreign PhD-student with housing and visa applications and compensates their transport costs and furnishing expenses.
