Ph.D. position

Eislab is seeking candidates for Ph.D.positions

EISLAB, a division of the department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Luleå University of Technology, Sweden, has PhD students positions available within the research areas of Industrial Electronics and Embedded System.


For more information about the group, please visit www.ltu.se/eislab.
The research project is:

Optoacoustic methods applied to optically and acoustically scattering media.- ref no.1656-09
The optoacoustic technique is becoming an important tool in characterizing complex materials.This project aims for increasing the understanding of the optical to acoustical energy conversion process and how that process can be used in material characterization.This includes detection of the volumetric size and shape of the photoacoustic source as well as the influence of laser power.The project also includes studies to develop the technique towards tomography applications as well as performing theoretical studies on optical and acoustical fields in scattering media.The process of calculating material properties from measurement data is given specific attention.

Candidates should have a background in engineering physics or similar and have an interest in applied optics.
