PhD thesis in enhancing the performance of microsensors through chaos in France

Sensors act as bridges between the real world and the digital realm, becoming increasingly pervasive in our surroundings. Among these, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors play a pivotal role in future applications. They are compact, highly sensitive, and versatile, catering to a broad range of applications such as biosensors, environmental monitoring or inertial sensors. However, enhancing MEMS sensors performance often involves increasing their cost or the complexity of their electronics. Given the pressing need for energy efficiency, it is crucial to explore innovative approaches to minimize the impact of high-performance sensors.

Duties of the position

The appointee will be expected to join a team of researchers and engineers from CEA-LETI and TIMA in order to to explore the potential of MEMS sensors in chaotic regimes by developing a pioneering demonstrator and to prove the behavior of the chaotic dynamic of MEMS sensors with a targeted sensing application, once the fundamentals are well-understood.

Required selection criteria

Applicants should possess a a Master / Engineering School diploma in applied physics, micro/nanotechnologies or associated disciplines; rigor and good analysis skills are imperative for this project and motivation by participating in cutting-edge and challenging research projects.

Benefits

The selected candidate will be offered the benefits from Grenoble’s thriving scientific environment and will be given the opportunity to present his results in international conferences.
