NoOffer Description Reference:Public notice no *******/PDF/CoolbrainA tender is hereby opened for the award ofone Postdoctoral Fellowshipunder COOLBRAIN – CHIPLET COOLING SOLUTIONS FOR LOW-CONSUMPTION EMBEDDED PROCESSING AI AT NANOSCALE (HORIZON-EU-*********) of University of Aveiro / DETI under the following conditions:1.
Scientific AreaCondensed Matter Physics, Light-Matter Interaction, Radiative Heat Transfer.3.
Admission Requirements:Doctor Degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, Physical Engineering, or a related field.24.
Other Requirements:Applicants must hold a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, Physical Engineering, or a related field.
The candidate should demonstrate a strong background in multiphysics modeling, spanning areas of electromagnetics, metamaterials, radiative heat transfer, and semiconductor physics.Preference will be given to candidates with:Strong background in multidisciplinary theoretical and applied physics, including solid state physics and light-matter interactions, electromagnetics of metamaterials, physics of radiative heat transfer, and multiphysics simulation methodsSolid expertise in electromagnetic modeling of nanostructured media such as metamaterials and metasurfaces, particularly at infrared frequenciesExperience in analytical and numerical modeling of near-field radiative heat transfer and thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems based on such systemsExperience with semiconductor device modeling, especially TPV cells involving low-bandgap and III-V semiconductorsScientific publication record relevant to the topic of the project5.
Eligibility : Applicants are eligible if they had obtained a doctorate less than three years prior and comply with no. 2 of article 2, of the Research Fellow Statute in the wording given by Decree-Law no. ********, of August 28th, and also the provisions of article 8 of the Scientific Research Grant Regulations of the University of Aveiro.
PDFs can only be granted provided the following requirements are metcumulatively :The doctorate has been obtained within the three years prior to the date of submission of the application for the grant;
The postdoctoral research is carried out in a host entity different from the entity where the research work leading to the doctoral degree was carried out;
The research activities do not require postdoctoral experience;
The research activities have a time frame for development and implementation of three years or less;
The fellow does not exceed, with the conclusion of the grant contract in question, including possible renewals, an accumulated period of three years in that type of grant, consecutive or interpolated.6.
Work plan:The project focuses on investigation and modeling of the super-Planckian radiative heat transfer (RHT) and low-temperature thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion phenomena assisted by nanostructured materials and III-V semiconductors.
The selected researcher will develop analytical and numerical models for near-field RHT between closely spaced nanostructured media, including metamaterials, metasurfaces, carbon nanotube arrays, and metallic and semiconductor nanostructures.The work will include the modeling and optimization of super-Planckian RHT in such systems and the related energy recycling and photoelectric conversion mechanisms.
Particular emphasis will be placed on the electromagnetic and thermal modeling of low-bandgap semiconductor TPV systems and on the optimization of emitter–receiver geometries to enhance heat transfer and conversion efficiency.The researcher will also contribute to the development of multiphysics simulation frameworks combining electromagnetic, thermal, and semiconductor device models, supporting the design of advanced energy harvesting solutions integrated at chip level.7.
