Project

The iSense Doctoral Network is on a mission to train a new generation of experts to address the complex and ever-evolving electromagnetic environment. The focus? Tackling the problem of electromagnetic interference (EMI) through groundbreaking research and innovation. You’ll contribute to the development of next-gen EMI sensors, early-warning detection tools, and new modeling and testing strategies—ensuring the future of technology is interference-free.

 

In this PhD position (DC6), you'll play a key role in optimizing the parameters used to monitor and describe electromagnetic environments, driving significant impact in the fields of smart grids and medical technology.

 

Your mission:

  • Identify and prioritize the most critical electromagnetic parameters affecting system performance and reliability.
  • Develop a cost-effective, high-precision methodology for monitoring EMI, balancing accuracy with affordability.
  • Test and validate your approach in real-world settings, including smart grid and medical environments.

 

Expected results:

  • A refined set of EM parameters to serve as the foundation for continuous monitoring in high-tech systems..
  • A cost-efficient, practical methodology for EMI monitoring in real-time environments.

Profile

We are seeking a highly motivated, enthusiastic, passionate, and communicative researcher who holds a Master of Science degree in electrical engineering, with outstanding academic achievements. Candidates should demonstrate a strong affinity for RF measurements and EMC.

Offer

This is more than just a PhD position—it’s an opportunity to be part of an internationally recognized network of researchers through the MSCA iSense Doctoral Network (www.dn-isense.eu). As a PhD candidate, you will be based at KU Leuven’s Bruges Campus, with exciting secondments at Eindhoven University of Technology and Philips Healthcare.

 

We offer:

  • A fully funded 3-year PhD scholarship (extendable to 4 years).
  • Specialized doctoral training to boost your expertise.
  • Opportunities to collaborate in groundbreaking research and participate in international conferences.
  • Access to state-of-the-art infrastructure and a range of university benefits (health insurance, etc.).
  • A dynamic, passionate team of fellow PhD students and test engineers.
