PhD Researcher in Efficient Microcomb Communications
1 month ago
Project Overview
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at Monash University, working on a project focused on using microcombs to develop novel ways to support efficient optical communication systems. Our goal is to simplify the way we run communication systems, toward low-energy, multi-terabit-per-second optical interfaces.
Research Opportunities
As part of this PhD, you will be trained in state-of-the-art optical transmission systems and become an expert in the physics of optical microcombs, telecommunications systems based on combs, and in the data processing of these systems. You will have opportunities to work with local academics and international industrial partners, including Nokia/Infinera.
Research Environment
This PhD will provide you with skills to develop a career in academia or industry. You will be working as part of a large collaboration – the Centre for Optical Microcombs for Breakthrough Science (COMBS) – a 7-year, $70M research collaboration started in 2024. This centre is based on shared research goals, equipment and expertise amongst 8 Australian universities and many international partners.
Requirements
Applicants with a background including project work in optics, photonics, optical communications, and/or communications engineering will be starting off with an advantage for this PhD topic. We are looking for a candidate who is passionate about research and has a strong academic record.
