7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Procedural Computer Graphics for Industrial Image Synthesis

Summary of PhD Program:

Photorealistic image simulation and synthetic datasets are becoming indispensable resources when it comes to machine learning and machine vision. Models are data hungry and precise image annotation is a tedious job. It becomes even more tricky when it comes to the use of models in industrial environments! You need images and they must be annotated by experts. For the model to be robust you need a balanced dataset containing all kinds of unlikely but possible events, but you have no chance of getting this within a reasonable amount of time and money.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in IC Design

Summary of PhD Program:

Wearables require low power consumption, both for the backplane (pixel cell array) and the respective emitters. AR in the tactile Internet also requires extremely low latencies (<1ms), which require new pixel cell, interface and data transmission architectures. This interdisciplinary task requires a sound knowledge of CMOS circuit technology as well as the technological integration of emissive semiconductor layers on silicon wafers.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Integration and characterization of ferroelectric memory devices

Summary of PhD Program:

As a PhD student you will work together with our team and industry partner to transfer these technologies into existing technology nodes. Since ferroelectricity in HfO2 occurs only in a metastable orthorhombic phase, whose stability range depends on a variety of parameters, such as layer thickness, dopant content and type, layer stresses and thermal post-treatment which need to be optimized. In this work, the dependence of these process parameters on the ferroelectric properties such as remanent polarization, cycle endurance and microvariability will be investigated and correlated with physical properties of the films such as composition and crystallographic phase.
