PhD scholarship in AI-Driven Optimization of Optical Links based on Nano-Lasers - DTU Electro

Opportunity summary

Official occupation: ph.d., naturvidenskab og teknik. Employment conditions: Almindelige vilkår. Employer CVR: 30060946. Primary career market: Public Sector, Education & Impact (employer-sector evidence). DTU Electro invites applications for a PhD position in AI-driven optimization of optical links based on nano-lasers, within the Villum Investigator program "Power-Efficient Fiber-Optic Communication" (POPCOM) and DNRF Center for NanoPhotonics (NANOPHOTON). The position focuses on developing signaling optimization frameworks to maximize spectral and power efficiency. As data-center traffic continues to grow, the energy consumption of optical links has become a critical bottleneck, with power efficiency (measured in J/bit) increasingly rivaling spectral efficiency as a key performance metric. This project will investigate how AI-driven techniques can jointly optimize nano-laser-based transmitters and their waveforms to reduce energy consumption while sustaining high data rates, contributing to more sustainable next-generation optical communication infrastructure. Responsibilities and qualifications We seek a motivated, curious, and outgoing PhD candidate with a solid background in fiber optics, laser-physics, communication engineering, machine learning, and AI-based agentic frameworks1 …
