Engineering
We study actively-controlled megastructures that realize autonomous and reprogrammable guiding of acoustic/mechanical waves. In particular, we are passionate about waveguiding inspired by quantum topological phenomena and tunneling, real-time wave absorbers and artificial acoustic fields, cloaking, and more. Our research is multi-disciplinary, combining Control Theory, Acoustics, Vibrations, Condensed Matter Physics, and Electronics.

We look for candidates of diverse scientific backgrounds and skills, including:
1. Design and analysis of wave propagation in acoustic/elastic periodic structures, lattices, metamaterials, and metasurfaces.
2. Design of electric circuit networks.
3. Control of distributed-parameter systems/partial differential equations.
4. Analysis of topological wave phenomena in Condensed-Matter Physics.
5. Dynamical simulations programming of multiple-degree-of-freedom systems, controlled in closed-loop, in Matlab, or similar software.
6. Construction of Finite Element simulations of acoustic waveguiding systems.
If you are motivated and passionate about active control of waves in acoustic/mechanical/electronic metamaterials, and at least one of the above applies to you, we will be happy to have you in our lab!
Application deadline: October 1
