• Execute research tasks assigned by the Principal Investigator, including device design and fabrication.
• Publish research findings in peer‑reviewed journals and present results at conferences.
• Perform simulations and extensive analysis for device development and optimization using appropriate software tools.
• Carry out THz communication experiments and photonic characterisation measurements.

Required profile

• PhD in Applied Physics, Electronics & Communication, or a related field focused on THz/MM‑wave photonics.
• Demonstrated R&D experience in terahertz photonics and high‑speed communication systems.
• Strong communication abilities and a proven aptitude for leading translational research projects.
• Solid understanding of fundamental photonic device principles and system integration.
• Familiarity with modelling and testing photonics‑based devices.

Required skills

• FDTD simulation tools
• MATLAB
• COMSOL Multiphysics
