PhD Position on “Integrated Photonics, Electronic-Photonic Co-Design/Integration”ETH Zürich is well known for its excellent education, ground-breaking fundamental research and for implementing its results directly into practice.The Integrated Devices, Electronics, And Systems (IDEAS) Group of ETH Zurich invites applications for one PhD position in the field of integrated photonics for next-generation communication, sensing, such as datacenter, 5G/6G, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), and biomedical applications.This PhD position focuses on the designs, implementations, and demonstrations of integrated circuit with new circuit topologies and system architectures for integrated electronics/photonics.Potential topics of interest include but are not limited to:Optical transceiver for next generation datacenter communicationOptical phased array for free-space optical communication and sensingElectronic/photonic co-designsCompound semiconductor circuit designs and co-integration with photonicsMicrowave-photonics for 6G communicationIntegrated photonics for bioelectronics and biosensorsProject backgroundThe ETH IDEAS Group, led by Prof. Hua Wang, is a world-leading research group in the field of integrated circuits and systems for next-generation wireless communication, sensing, and various emerging technology applications. Our current and past PhD students regularly publish at flagship conferences and journals and have found career opportunities both in top universities and industry.The ETH IDEAS Group is part of the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (D-ITET). More information can be found on the group website.These PhD positions are jointly funded by EU grants, Swiss national grants, as well as ETH Zurich internal funding. The research involves close collaborations with industry and university groups in Switzerland, EU, and US.You will be responsible for the architecting, designing, prototyping, and testing of novel electronic/photonic integrated circuits and/or systems using advanced IC technologies. You will be responsible for performing packaging and building measurement setups. Also, you will be responsible for the project meetings, reporting, scientific publications, conference/seminar presentations, and involving in proposal writing. Further, you will be expected to facilitate the teaching and occasionally deliver lectures in English at ETH Zurich.ProfileExcellent moral character and mature/healthy personalityMS in Electrical Engineering or equivalentResearch and publication track record in silicon photonics/nano-photonics is a plusResearch and publication track record in analog, mixed-signal, RF, mm-Wave integrated circuit design is a plusTapeout experience is a plusRelevant industry experience is a plusIndependent individual who can both craft and lead new research projects and work collaboratively on team projectsExcellent communication skills in English (the IDEAS team’s working language)We also would like you to bring the following competencies in line with ETH Zurich’s values:You act responsibly and professionallyYou can drive innovations, e.g. byBeing courageous, open, and curiousBeing flexible and adaptable to changeExploring new ideas, solutions, and technologiesYou live inclusivity by treating all people equitablyYou build bridges, e.g. byCommunicating effectively inside or outside of our IDEAS research groupSeeking opportunities to collaborateWe offerAt ETH IDEAS Group, we value knowledge exchange and collaborative working environment as a highly interdisciplinary and international research team.
