Research area and project description:
PhD Position in Quantum Machine Learning-Driven Optimization of Wide Bandgap Semiconductors for Sustainable Power Circuits
Faculty of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University
Aarhus University's Faculty of Technical Sciences is delighted to announce an exciting PhD opportunity within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. This position is part of a pioneering research project aimed at revolutionizing power circuit systems through the integration of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) and Wide Bandgap (WBG) semiconductors. The project seeks to address the critical need for sustainable energy solutions by enhancing the efficiency and reducing the environmental impact of power circuits.
Project Description:
The advent of Wide Bandgap (WBG) semiconductors has opened new horizons for power electronics, offering superior efficiency and performance over traditional materials. However, optimizing these semiconductors for maximum performance and sustainability requires innovative approaches. This project focuses on leveraging Quantum Machine Learning (QML) to unlock unprecedented efficiencies in WBG semiconductor operation, aiming to significantly reduce the reliance on petroleum-based components in electronic boards.
The selected PhD candidate will embark on a cutting-edge research journey to:
- Develop QML algorithms tailored for optimizing the switching frequencies of WBG semiconductors
- Investigate the integration of Talkative Power Conversion (TPC) techniques to enhance communication within power circuits
- Contribute to the development of more efficient, reliable, and environmentally friendly power electronic systems
Embark on a journey to shape the future of power electronics and contribute to a sustainable world with Aarhus University.
Project description: For technical reasons, you must upload a project description. Please simply copy the project description above and upload it as a PDF in the application.
