Augusto Nascetti

PhD opportunity at Sapienza University of Rome in electronic and embedded systems for autonomous scientific instrumentation in space . The funded scholarship is within the PhD Programme in Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) , Electronic Engineering curriculum, and is linked to the research topic “Integrated architectures for autonomous and resilient lab-on-chip systems for space applications.” The project focuses on electronic, embedded, and system-level architectures for autonomous lab-on-chip platforms designed for biological and biochemical experiments in space and other highly constrained environments. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in electronic engineering , computer engineering , embedded systems , automation/control , scientific instrumentation , microfluidics , and hardware/software integration . Desired skills include embedded firmware development for complex systems, electronic board design and debugging, data acquisition and control systems, software interfaces for instrument operation, and integration of hardware/software platforms with experimental setups. Prior experience or strong interest in space systems, lab-on-chip technologies, or experimental engineering is considered valuable. The position is associated with Sapienza’s official competitive PhD selection procedure, so it is not a direct appointment by the supervisor. Selection is based on qualifications and a research project, followed by an oral exam. The call indicates that the research project can be submitted in Italian or English. Deadline: 17 June 2026, 14:00 CET. Application: submit the application through the official Sapienza PhD call and upload the required documents before the deadline. For scientific questions about the topic, candidates may contact Augusto Nascetti. For procedural/logistical questions, the post refers applicants to the PhD office.
