Stáž: Vývoj samonapájených perovskitových detektorů pro výpočet přímo v senzoru

Job Description

In-sensor computing offers a revolutionary paradigm by processing data directly within a sensor using brain-inspired analog computing. However, current in-sensor computing detectors face complexity, cost, and scalability challenges. In this project, you will fabricate nanostructured electrode networks, deposit perovskite layers, and characterize small device arrays, including tests of self-powered operation using the perovskite's light-harvesting properties. By combining low-cost fabrication with flexible, compact designs, the project aims to develop a new class of motion sensors capable of single-snapshot sensing, with potential applications in robotics, autonomous systems, and smart environmental monitoring.

Qualifications

You are currently enrolled in a Master's program in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related field. You have a nationality of an EU-member state and/or you are a student at a university in the Netherlands. The internship has to be a mandatory part of your curriculum. We expect you to be available for at least 5 months, although longer is preferable.

Work environment

AMOLF is a part of NWO-I and initiate and performs leading fundamental research on the physics of complex forms of matter, and to create new functional materials, in partnership with academia and industry. The institute is located at Amsterdam Science Park and currently employs about 140 researchers and 80 support employees.

The Hybrid Solar Cell Group researches the next generation of solar cells using hybrid materials like metal halide perovskites. We develop a deep understanding of material properties and their impact on device performance.

Our focus is on improving the stability of perovskite solar cells, addressing ion migration as a key challenge. We have developed unique techniques to study and suppress ion migration and explore new applications for ion migration. By combining the excellent semiconducting properties of perovskites with mobile ions, we develop devices for memory applications.

Working conditions

At the start of the traineeship your trainee plan will be set out, in consultation with your AMOLF supervisor.

AMOLF Energy Research Academy: AMOLF offers a special program for research internships in sustainable energy science. It is composed of a research project in one of AMOLF's research groups, combined with a series of dedicated tutorials on fundamental aspects of the science behind sustainability technology. Admission to this Academy is only possible in combination with a research internship project at AMOLF.
