NETHERLAND PHD IN THE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DESIGN (ICD) 2009

Netherland PhD in the Integrated Circuit Design 2009 – for post graduate students

Scholarship Introduction:

The PhD in the Integrated Circuit Design (ICD) group focuses on the research and realization of integrated high efficiency amplifiers for piezoelectric loads. Amplifying the noise canceling signals for piezoelectric panels is complicated because of the high voltages (up to 100V), erratic load impedance and tough distortion requirements. This renders existing amplifier solutions too large and power hungry. High efficiency amplifier techniques like class D switching amplifiers exist, but we have to move beyond that in order to satisfy the demands for higher efficiency, compactness and low distortion. More information about the ICD group can be found on http://icd.el.utwente.nl

Eligibility for Scholarship:

University Graduate

What we ask

You have completed an Electrical Engineering university degree (M.Sc. level) or are about to graduate in an area that is relevant to our research. You are skilled in mixed-signal integrated circuit design, and have knowledge of linear- and switching amplifiers and power converters. You can translate system-level requirements to specifications and organize your own research. Also, you possess good writing and presentation skills.

How to apply:

Please send your C.V. to Bram Nauta together with a letter of motivation, and the e-mail addresses of two references. Also please let me know from what moment on you are available.

P.S. Foreign students are welcomed.
