Postdoctoral position in Stretchable Optical Skin
Vor 3 Tagen
The Robotic Materials group is looking for a highly motivated postdoc for the topic of soft optical sensory skin.
The Robotic Materials group headed by Prof. Hedan Bai at the Department of Materials was established in October 2023. We are an international and interdisciplinary team of material scientists, roboticists, and chemists with a passion for futuristic robotics. We take a bottom-up approach to robotics and develop soft materials and devices that would enable unusual form and unconventional functions for broader robotic applications.
Project backgroundThe introduction of fiber optics in the 1970s has revolutionized the telecommunications industry upon the replacement of copper wires and played a major role in the advent of the Information Age. One high bandwidth fiber optic cable can replace thousands of electrical links to transmit the same amount of information. As parallels to the thriving field of stretchable electronics, soft optics is emerging as a new platform that uses the modulation of light in soft matter to encode multifunctionalities in the optical path. The goal of this project is to develop a novel optical sensing scheme in soft materials and demonstrate the multifunctionality in complex real-world environments.
Job description- Design, micro-fabrication, and characterization of soft optical structures for multimodal sensing
- Develop theoretical understanding with multiphysics simulation
- Develop multimodal decoupling algorithms
- Scalable O-skin fabrication and system integration onto robots and as wearables
- Realtime sensory mapping in complex environments
- Supervise master/bachelor students
- Teaching assistant for the robotic materials class
This is a full-time position that starts as soon as possible. Applications are evaluated on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
Profile- PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field from a top-notch university
- Productive candidates with outstanding publication records in stretchable electronics (with experience in soft materials, microfabrication, and multimodal data processing) are highly welcomed
- Proficiency in oral and written English, circuit design, and a programming language
- Team player. Enjoy working in an open, diverse, and interdisciplinary team
- A productive working environment with training and guidance from the PI on a regular basis
- Competitive salary according to ETH standards (fully funded, full-time, fixed term position)
- An interdisciplinary, international, and diverse team of talents and a stimulating, vibrant, collaborative group
