About the Project

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented researcher to join our team at DTU Electro, in the Photonic Integrated Circuit based Systems (PICSys) group. The successful candidate will contribute to our efforts in developing integrated optical phased array (OPA) on silicon nitride integration platform for bioimaging.

This position is funded by Novo Nordisk Foundation, and 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. You will be working with a group of professionals in photonic integrated devices, optical phased array, optical communications, optical computing, electronic circuits design, and FPGA programming.

Key Objectives
  • Develop integrated OPA on SiN platform for biomedical imaging
  • 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
  • Apply 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
