Research Opportunities
Electrical engineering
Work description
The work aims to apply coherent optical systems in submarine communication cables, leveraging phase and polarization information from transmitted signals for distributed sensing purposes. The goal is to use these techniques for the detection and monitoring of geophysical phenomena, taking advantage of the existing optical cable infrastructure as a large-scale sensor network.
Academic Qualifications
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics or Physical Engineering and attending a master's degree in the same area.
Minimum profile required
Knowledge in electromagnetic waves and communications.
Preference factors
Experience in RF electronics and optical communications
