DC2: Sub-terahertz and terahertz reconfigurable intelligent surfaces Main supervisor: Prof. Viktar Asadchy[AALTO] Co-supervisors/mentors: Dr. Victoria Tormo [INDRA] and Dr. Barthès [3DEUS] Objectives To establish an analytical modeling approach for multilayer tunable metasurfaces that captures the key electromagnetic coupling effects between layers and enables fast prediction of their tunable response without relying solely on full-wave simulations. To create efficient adjoint-based optimization methods for tunable metasurfaces that provide rapid sensitivity/gradient evaluation, support high-dimensional design spaces, and allow systematic optimization of performance targets such as efficiency, bandwidth, and multi-condition operation. To design and fabricate reconfigurable metasurface prototypes that implement a global tuning mechanism, and to experimentally characterize their electromagnetic performance. To validate the achieved tuning range and functional performance in laboratory measurements against modeling and simulation results. This position is part of the MetaTune Doctoral Network "Reconfigurability using inversely designed metasurfaces", which has been funded under the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) program. Acquire knowledge During the thesis, the candidate will acquire a solid understanding of the theoretical and practical requirements for designing tunable and reconfigurable metasurfaces, with emphasis on multilayer architectures and system-level performance metrics (efficiency, bandwidth, angular response, and robustness). In parallel, the candidate will gain in-depth knowledge of analytical modeling techniques and adjoint-based optimization methods for high-dimensional inverse design, as well as develop practical expertise in prototyping and laboratory characterization. Go to the project webpage for more information What METATUNE Offers Work contract at Aalto is for 36 months funded through the MSCA network, with the additional benefits for employees (public and universal health system, free schools, etc.).
