PhD (including guest/exchange) postdoctoral position in DTU

Metro-Access and Short Range Systems Group at DTU FOTONIK

DTU Fotonik is the Department of the Technical University of Denmark (www.fotonik.dtu.dk) whose research and education activities focus on photonics and telecommunications technologies. About 200 researchers are employed at DTU Fotonik, including about 70 Ph.D. students

Metro-Access and Short Range Communication Systems Group
Vision: Photonics, electronics, digital signal processing, microwave and sensor technologies synergistically interacting will become the modern telecommunication infrastructure connecting the end-user to the world and bringing the world into the personal area network.

Research: the scope of our activities is driven by the challenges facing the global telecommunication network of the future to cope with the increasing demand for instant, reliable, any time, anywhere and affordable delivery of broadband services directly to the end-user. In the search for solutions to those challenges, we pursue research in topics spanning transparent interfacing between the core/metropolitan and access area network segments, high capacity access (wavelength division multiplexing –passive optical networks: WDM-PON) technologies, converged signal generation, detection and transport of wireless or wireline signals all the way long from the metro to the indoor (in-home) environment.

Our ongoing research activities can be grouped along the following tracks:
Coherent detection systems supported by DSP techniques for 100 Gbit/s, 400 Gbit/s and beyond systems
High capacity wireless-over-fiber transmission and access systems
Universal digital signal processing (DSP) receiver structures for optical communications
Equalization and error correction techniques
Converged wireline and wireless broadband access network
Techniques and technologies for metro-access interfacing nodes
Cognitive performance and quality of transmission monitoring techniques for advanced modulation and transmission systems
Photonic technologies and techniques for high capacity, narrowly spaced WDM access systems
High capacity short range networking over multimode and polymer fibres for wireless and wireline signals
High speed, high carrier frequency, short range wireless communications links
In-home networking

We foster close cooperation links with other research groups in DTU Fotonik and at other research institutions world wide. Currently, the group has attracted funded research projects from the Danish research council, European Commission FP7, Danish private foundations and DTU scholarships schemes.

Our group has attracted researchers from a wide range of cultural backgrounds to create a dynamic and enthusiastic research environment. Our team members have educational and cultural backgrounds from Denmark, Russia, Colombia, South Africa, China, Jamaica, Australia, and The Netherlands.

We would like to hear from highly motivated and qualified candidates interested in PhD studies, PhD guest/exchange research stays in our group. We also welcome candidates interested in a postdoctoral stay, candidates for Marie-Curie Grants and other grants. If you be interested in our research or have any enquires, you are very welcome to contact us for further information.
