Ph.D Position in "Parameterized Model Order Reduction" (Universiteit Eindhoven, The Netherlands)

Project: In the RF (radio frequency) domain, design is becoming more and more layout driven. Electromagnetic (EM) solvers are used to model and simulate such layout structures, by solving the system of Maxwell equations in 3 dimensions. The information obtained must be translated into an equivalent electronic circuit that approximately describes the behaviour of the structure. This translation requires the use of Parameterized Model Order Reduction (PMOR). The project will consist of developing and applying suitable PMOR techniques in EM simulation, so as to satisfy the needs and requirements for parameterized models for layout structures. In this way, designers can avoid the time-consuming manual construction of models. The models incorporate effects that describe changes in the layout. These models must also be combined with statistical procedures for investigating the effects of variability in designs.

What we ask: The candidate for this position should have a Master`s degree in Mathematics/ Scientific Computing, with knowledge of or affinity with electronics design or Electrical Engineering, with a profound knowledge of numerical methods.

What we offer: The position will be a 4-year Ph.D. position at TU Eindhoven, carried out at Philips Semiconductors/ NXP Semiconductors, situated at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The region around Eindhoven is very active in the electronics industry, with main centres in Leuven (IMEC) and Aachen nearby. There is a close cooperation with Eindhoven University of Technology (TU Eindhoven). A salary is offered starting euro 1813,- per month (gross) in the first year and increasing up to euro 2394,- per month (gross) in the last year. Moreover, 8% bonus share (holiday supplement) is provided annually. Assistance for finding accommodation can be given.

Information and application: Information about the position can be obtained from the project leader, Prof. Wil Schilders (Philips/NXP and TU Eindhoven) by email: wil.schilders@ philips.com, or w.h.a.schilders@ tue.nl If you are interested in this position, send a detailed curriculum vitae, a publication list, your course program and corresponding grades, references, recommendation letters and all other information that might be relevant to your application to the address below, mentioning the vacancy number V 32.665.
