Descripción
Are you ready to take the next step in your academic journey? As a doctoral student with us, you will work closely with leading researchers in a strong, international research environment, with access to advanced laboratory equipment and solid funding opportunities. You will be offered secure employment, high-quality supervision, and room to grow, both as a researcher and as a person. Do you want to build the next generation of electronics? Europe is racing to regain ground in semiconductor technology, and chiplets – several small dies packaged together into one working system – are one of the keys. The hard part is not the dies, but the interconnects between them. We are looking for a PhD student to create those interconnects in a fully additive way: laser micromachining, selective metallisation and new photosensitive materials, without high-temperature sintering and with minimal material waste. The work is experimental, carried out in our own laboratories together with European industry. The EISLAB division at Luleå University of Technology conducts research in electronic systems design, sensor systems, cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things and machine learning, and works on electronics from material and process to a finished, verified component. We work in close cooperation with companies such as Bosch, Ericsson, Volvo, Infineon, Boliden, LKAB and SKF, with leading international universities, and in large European research programmes such as Arrowhead Tools, coordinated by LTU. This position belongs to our growing work on additive manufacturing for chiplet packaging, where EISLAB is responsible for the packaging part within a European consortium. Subject description Cyber-Physical Systems focuses on integrated software and application architectures with implementations of massively distributed embedded systems that interact with each other and their environment to enable secure, goal-driven, autonomous and evolvable solutions.
