The European Doctoral Network for Safe and Sustainable ElectroMagnetic Shielding Solutions for Mobility (PARASOL) Marie Sklodowska-Curie Project is seeking a PhD researcher to join the Power Electronics and Electromagnetic Compatibility Group within the Department of Electrical Engineering.
PARASOL is a European-funded Marie Sklodowska-Curie project, with partners from the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Spain. Each of the 12 Doctoral Researchers (DRs) will be trained to work in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams, with a new mindset tuned towards the inclusion of the Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) approach into innovative design methods. For this inclusion to occur, each DR will develop through their research the missing dedicated tools and techniques, and apply them to the complete lifecycle of electromagnetic shielding solutions for vehicles (car, plane, train, and ship).
This task is about investigating the shielding effectiveness (SE) of real complex 3D structures like boxes, enclosures, and (parts of) cars, planes, or ships. The currently used, simplified techniques are based on flat-panel structures, while the most critical aspect of SE is the interconnection of those panels, especially for composite materials. Even the most high-tech industries are forced to manufacture and test several prototypes because the actual performance of interconnection techniques is unpredictable. A major factor is also the lack of interaction between material engineers, mechanical engineers, and electromagnetic engineers.
Duration 4 years
Salary
- A gross monthly salary ranging from € 2.541,- (first year) to € 3.247,- (fourth year);
