A research position for one research grant is opened at Instituto de Telecomunicações, in the scope of the projects:

TopElect, Harvey Prize 2018, funded by IET The Institution of Engineering and Technology, and

Harnessing Universal Symmetry Concepts for Extreme Wave Phenomena, funded by Simons Foundation.

Additional description: Bachelor fellowship to investigate the topological properties of parity-time-duality (PTD) invariant material platforms.
Scientific Area:
Wireless Technologies
Group:
Antennas and Propagation ? Lx
Admission Requirements:
Research grants are intended:

for students enrolled in a degree-conferring course to carry out R&D activities with the aim to consolidate their scientific training through the development of research work leading to the attainment of the respective academic degree or completion of the course (integrated or not in R&D projects).

In what concerns the admission requirements for this research grant in particular:

Bachelor degree (or equivalent) in physics or electrical engineering.

The student should be enrolled in M.Sc. degree in physics or electrical engineering.

Work Objectives:
The goal of this work is to develop a general method to characterize the topology of PTD symmetric optical platforms. For more details about these systems see Phys. Rev. B 95, 035153, 2017.
