About this position
This PhD project focuses on spatiotemporal integrated metamaterials for nonreciprocal photonics. The successful candidate will design dynamically modulated, chip-scale metamaterials that enable nonreciprocal light control, with applications in photonic circuits for optical communication and quantum technologies.
The work combines theoretical and numerical design of time-varying structures, on-chip fabrication using advanced nanolithography, and experimental demonstration of nonreciprocal light transport. The project is positioned at the intersection of photonics, optics, and nanofabrication, and aims to translate dynamically modulated metamaterials into integrated photonic devices.
The PhD candidate will be based in the Photonic Integration group in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology. The project is part of the SPARK Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network, offering collaboration with a multidisciplinary, international consortium working on related nonreciprocal and photonic integration technologies.
Collaboration is an important part of the research environment. The candidate will work closely with researchers across design, fabrication, and characterization, and will also spend time at partner institutes in Portugal for component measurements and chip-level integration. The position is co-supervised by Prof. M. Piccardo at INESC MN, strengthening the cross-institutional and applied research dimension of the project.
The wider TU/e environment is strongly connected to Brainport Eindhoven and its high-tech ecosystem, with a focus on electrical engineering, photonics, and advanced manufacturing. This setting provides a hands-on, application-oriented research culture with access to technical infrastructure and an international academic network.
