PhD Offer - Deterministic and stochastic exposure assessment of children and pregnant women at emerging 5G frequencies (CHILD_5G)
- Rennes, Ille-et-Vilaine
- CDD
- Temps-plein
- Education: MS or equivalent degree in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, or physics.
- Background: knowledge in antenna design, electronics, bioelectromagnetics, numerical modelling. Experience with commercial or open-source numerical solvers (e.g., CST, Ansys, SIM4LIFE, COMSOL Multiphysics) and programming skills (e.g., MATLAB, Mathematica) are welcome but not mandatory.

)Additional commentsResearch environment: The PhD student will join ElectromagneticWaves in Complex Media Team (eWAVES) of the IETR/CNRS. IETR is one of the leading EU research laboratories in electronics, wireless communications, and digital technologies. Our research activities in biomedical electromagnetics cover a wide spectrum of fundamental and applied research spreading from multi-physics and multi-scale modelling to biomedical radars and advanced technologies for body-centric wireless communications. The team was at the origin of pioneering innovations in biomedical electromagnetics, including the first mmWave tissue-equivalent phantoms, novel reflectivity-based surface phantom concept, new broadband multi-physics characterization technique for Debye-type materials, innovative mmWave textile antennas for smart clothing, ultra-robust miniature implantable UHF antennas, first mmWave reverberation chamber.Duration: 36 monthsReferences:
