The Delft University of Technology invites applications for its PhD position Harnessing cyber-physical force fields for contactless microchip assembly.
The Department of Precision and Microsystems Engineering (PME) of the 3mE faculty focuses on developing knowledge and methods for small, innovative, high-precision devices and systems, such as scientific instrumentation and biomimetic platforms for the molecular diagnostics and high-tech industry.
The vacant position is in the Dynamics of Micro and Nanosystems (DMN) section. The group focuses on exploiting the dynamics and mechanics of small-scale systems to create new platforms in the fields of scientific instrumentation, healthcare, and consumer electronics. Our research topics span from measuring and manipulating (bio)materials at the micro and nanoscale, to the design of reliable MEMS and NEMS sensors and actuators.
The successful candidate will be part of a team of 6 PhD and 2 postdoc researchers, that work together with staff scientists and engineers at TU Delft and the company Nexperia. Each of the researchers will work on a dedicated part of the project, while at the same time closely collaborating with the rest of the team to ensure all parts can eventually fit together to realize all steps that need to be performed in the chip assembly process.
