Phd Position for Low-power High-dynamic Range Image Sensor
2 weken geleden
Image sensors have been used widely in our daily lives. In this project, we will develop a low-power image sensor for IoT applications such as environment monitoring in remote areas. Two key aspects are critical for this application: low power and high dynamic range. While the first requirement is very straightforward, the second requirement enables the image sensor to be used in an outdoor environment where the light intensity can differ throughout the day.
Benefits of Low-Power HDR Image Sensors in IoT
The integration of low-power HDR image sensors in IoT applications offers numerous benefits:
Extended Battery Life: Low power consumption ensures prolonged operation in remote locations, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and battery replacements.
Comprehensive Monitoring: HDR capabilities allow for detailed and accurate environmental monitoring, providing valuable data for analysis.
Scalability: CMOS technology enables scalable solutions that can be deployed widely without prohibitive costs.
Enhanced Data Quality: HDR ensures that the data captured is of high quality, regardless of varying lighting conditions.
Cost Efficiency: Reduced power consumption and extended sensor life lead to significant cost savings over time.
Research Focus
The selected candidate will focus on the following key areas:
Low Power Design: Develop image sensors that consume minimal power, essential for IoT applications that rely on battery power or energy harvesting, especially in remote areas.
High Dynamic Range (HDR): Design sensors capable of capturing high dynamic range images to provide detailed and accurate data across various lighting conditions, crucial for environmental monitoring.
CMOS Technology: Utilize CMOS technology to realize and integrate the sensors, ensuring cost-effectiveness and scalability.
Why Join Us?
Innovative Research Environment: Be a part of a leading research team working on groundbreaking technologies.
State-of-the-Art Facilities: Access to advanced laboratories and tools to support your research.
Professional Development: Opportunities for attending conferences, publishing papers, and collaborating with industry partners.

Department
Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three scientific disciplines. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we all use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make completely sustainable and future-proof. At the same time, we are developing the chips and sensors of the future, whilst also setting the foundations for the software technologies to run on this new generation of equipment – which of course includes AI. Meanwhile we are pushing the limits of applied mathematics, for example mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. In other words: there is plenty of room at the faculty for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1000 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.
