As a participant of the project, you will become part of a team at DTU with expertise in design, simulation, nanofabrication, characterization, and application of PIC. The activities within the project will benefit from synergies with other projects in the group as well as with other activities in the department. The main supervisor will be Dr. Hao Hu, DTU Electro.

Responsibilities and qualifications
Your overall focus will be developing integrated OPA on silicon nitride (SiN) platform for biomedical imaging. Your primary tasks will be:

  • Design and fabricate optical phased array chip on SiN platform
  • Design and fabricate on-chip calibration circuit for optical phased array to achieve arbitrary beam steering at high speed
  • Develop integrated athermal OPA on SiN platform by incorporating titanium oxide (TiO2) with negative thermo-optic coefficient
  • Characterize the integrated optical phased array with on-chip calibration functionality for solid-state optical beam steering
  • Applying integrated OPAs for biomedical imaging applications
  • Supervise BSc and MSc student projects, and be co-supervisor for PhD students
  • Data analysis, writing of scientific articles and presentations at conferences and meetings.
  • Participate in outreach activities, including social media updates and public events.

We will be looking for experience and expertise in one or more of the following subjects:

  • Experience in integrated photonics.
  • Experience in cleanroom work and nanofabrication of PIC.
  • Experience in simulation tools such as Lumerical, COMSOL.
  • Self-motivation in research and innovation.
  • Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
  • Ability to work independently while effectively collaborating with partners.

Preferred qualifications and experience:

  • Experience in SiN integration platform.
  • Experience in silicon photonics.
  • Experience in design and characterization of OPA.
  • Experience in PCB design and FPGA programming.

As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).

We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.

Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.

The period of employment is 2 years. The starting date is flexible and preferred to be December 1st, 2024, or as soon as possible. The position is a full-time position.
