Deadline for receipt of applications: 10 March 2021, 14:00h Europe/Madrid Time
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).
