About this position
This opportunity at DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory focuses on developing electromagnetic skins based on metamaterial/metasurface and reconfigurable intelligent surface concepts for radar and communication applications. The research is framed around the Army’s interest in next-generation RF microwave antenna and radar systems that use engineered surfaces to improve performance and functionality.
The selected researcher will work on both passive and active metamaterial/metasurface technology and explore how these approaches can be incorporated into future antenna/radar systems for Army use. The project is grounded in electromagnetic theory and aims at translating advanced surface engineering concepts into practical device and system-level applications.
The position is associated with the Army Research Directorate within ARL, a research environment that emphasizes concept development, discovery, technology development, and transition of disruptive science and technology into capabilities relevant to the Army. The posting also places this work within the broader ARL Research Associateship Program, which brings researchers into areas spanning materials, physics, communication and networking, computational sciences, and related engineering fields.
The named advisor for this opportunity is Quang Nguyen.
