Disculpa, pero esta entrada está disponible sólo en English.

IMDEA Networks’ Pervasive Wireless System Group headed by Prof. Domenico Giustiniano invites applications for one PhD position in the area of LiFi technology for battery-free networks. As Internet of Things (IoT) devices are getting miniaturized, new challenges must be addressed to communicate, compute and sense, and battery-free devices are a promising solution for sustainable development.

As a member of the team, the researcher will contribute to the research conducted in the team at the intersection between LiFi and IoT for battery-free communication. The selected candidate will work in a new EU project that aims to design battery-free IoT devices in small-form factors for precision agriculture (SOMIRO).

Skills Required for the PhD position:

• We expect an excellent degree in electrical engineering, telecommunication engineering or equivalent disciplines
• Proficiency in English is mandatory
• Solid background in embedded systems and communication
• Hands-on experience with experimental work
