About this position
The University of Galway is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the project “High Step-down Power Converter Topologies for AI Computing with Optimal 3D Transformers-on-silicon.” The full-time position is based in the Power Electronics Research Centre (PERC) within Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the School of Engineering, in close collaboration with the Tyndall National Institute.
The research focuses on developing high step-down power converter topologies for AI computing and integrating advanced three-dimensional transformers on silicon. The project sits within the Heterogeneous Integration theme of the RINN Semiconductors Centre, which is advancing semiconductor design, integration, and packaging beyond conventional Moore’s Law scaling.
As part of the research, the successful researcher will contribute to technologies that integrate photonic components—such as lasers, modulators, and detectors—with electronic components including amplifiers, antennae, and inductors on the same substrate. The work connects power electronics with advanced semiconductor fabrication and packaging processes, including micro-transfer printing.
The project is led by the University of Galway and forms part of a broader collaborative research environment spanning universities, research institutions, semiconductor fabrication facilities, and industry in Ireland. Collaboration with Tyndall National Institute will complement the project’s converter research with work on magnetics-on-silicon devices and advanced heterogeneous integration packaging technologies.
The research contributes to RINN Semiconductors’ wider application areas, including the Future Internet, Sustainable Energy and Environment, and Digital Healthcare, while supporting an integrated “atom to systems” semiconductor research value chain.
