About this position

This PhD project at Eindhoven University of Technology focuses on free-space optical (FSO) and radio communications for future tropospheric and space-enabled networks. The research explores how laser links can complement radio and fiber to create hybrid connectivity with very high throughput, high photon efficiency, and strong adaptability under changing link conditions.

You will study fundamental limits in FSO communications and translate theory into simulation and experimental validation. The project is centered on designing channel models, investigating how modulation, coding, and low-level protocols interact across hybrid FSO-RF-fiber links, and developing link architectures for experimental evaluation. The application context includes terrestrial, airborne, and space network scenarios, as well as 6G non-terrestrial networking and future high-capacity data-center links in space.

The position is embedded in the Information and Communication Theory Lab within the Signal Processing Systems group of the Department of Electrical Engineering at TU/e. The lab works on fundamental limits, data processing techniques, and communication architectures, with research interests spanning free-space optical communications, fiber communications, source coding, channel coding, multi-user information theory, security, and machine learning.

You will be part of the ANCHOR European doctoral network, which connects academic, industrial, and research partners working on optical, THz, and radio technologies for future communication networks. The project also includes a secondment at the Instituto de Telecomunicações in Aveiro, Portugal, and access to TU/e’s Centre for Wireless Technology and its 4.7 km FSO testbed in Eindhoven for high-throughput experiments. You will work closely with researchers in the Quantum & Terahertz Systems team of the Electro-Optical Communications group, in a collaborative international research environment.

Funding details

EU-funded PhD position in the ANCHOR doctoral network; full-time appointment for 4 years with salary scale P from €3,204 to €4,051 gross base salary per month, plus 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% year-end bonus.

What's required

A master’s degree or equivalent university degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, or Applied Physics with excellent grades. Applicants should have a curious, research-oriented mindset, experience in signal processing, communication systems, channel modeling or similar, and proficiency with relevant software packages. Prior experience in optical wireless communications or FSO is advantageous but not required. Candidates must be able to work in an interdisciplinary team, collaborate with international and industrial partners, spend time abroad for a secondment in Aveiro, Portugal, and satisfy the EU Mobility Rules (no more than 12 months of residence in the Netherlands during the 3 years immediately before the PhD start). They should be motivated to develop teaching and coaching skills and be fluent in spoken and written English at least at C1 level.
