1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Auxiliary Power Supplies for Gate Drivers using Physics-Informed M.
Summary of PhD Program:
The presence of power electronics converters in medium-voltage (MV) and high-voltage (HV) power grids has been increasing and is expected to become predominant in the coming years due to the growing penetration of high-power renewable energy sources and electrified loads. Considering that available semiconductor devices have limited blocking voltage capabilities, modular multilevel converter (MMC) topologies are typically employed in MV and HV grid-connected converter applications. Thereby, the power supply design of the gate-driving units controlling the active semiconductor devices is not trivial. For instance, the differential control voltage applied to the switches is generally between -5V and 20V.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in terahertz Imaging transmitter based on photonic integrated circuits
Summary of PhD Program:
THz imaging systems, after many years of research and technology advancements are moving from research facilities closer to companies for proper industrial applications. In combination with millimetre-wave frequencies, computational-based imaging at THz can allow for 3D imaging with both high lateral and depth resolution. A similar evolution in the neighbouring spectra, e.g., infrared and optical frequencies, is becoming a critical sensing tool in autonomous vehicles and systems. Similar advancements can occur at THz however the challenge is to create widely reconfigurable sources with the capability of beam focusing and steering for faster and higher resolution image acquisitions. The generation of THz radiation is fulfilled in the nearby electromagnetic spectrum, i.e., electronics, optoelectronic emitters, or optics-based source.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Advanced Materials for Regenerative Spinal Disorders Treatment
Summary of PhD Program:
Back pain is among the top ten diseases causing the greatest burden on society in terms of years lived with disability. It is estimated that 30 to 40% of these cases are attributed to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. Currently, there are no satisfactory treatments for IVD degeneration. If analgesics and physical therapy fail to control the pain, operative treatment can be considered in some cases, where the involved spinal segments are fused using metal/polymer cages. Such spinal fusion operations are very effective in relieving patients’ pain, but they are not always successful, sometimes leading to delayed fusions or non-unions. Our goal is to develop an innovative solution for spinal fusion using a 3D printed bioresorbable ceramic-based cage that is osteoinductive, load-bearing, and can counteract local inflammation.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in neuromorphic computing & engineering: algorithms & hardware architectures
Summary of PhD Program:
Despite significant advances in AI, current systems must catch up to the animal kingdom’s efficiency in processing complex, real-time tasks with minimal energy in uncertain conditions. This limitation stems from a fundamental difference in design philosophy; while nature leverages distributed processing and inherent noise tolerance, modern computing relies on deterministic, bit-perfect operations with a clear separation between memory and computation. To bridge this gap, the NECS Lab is pioneering research into brain-inspired computing models that mimic the natural neural system’s computational physics. Our research entails the development of novel brain-inspired computing theories, learning systems, and the design of ultra-low-power circuits, systems, and computing architectures.
