PhD Position in Energy Harvesting for Bio-Inspired Flying Robots

A three-year PhD position in the section of Digital and High-Frequency Electronics, Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, University of Southern Denmark, developing energy-harvesting techniques that use the magnetic fields around high-voltage power lines to power bio-inspired flying robots for autonomous power-line inspection. The section works on digital and high-frequency electronics, embedded systems, control and communication using reconfigurable computing and sensors. Starting date: 1 January 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

A completed BSc and MSc in electronics, electrical engineering, physics, mechatronics or a closely related discipline; final-semester master’s students may apply if they finish before the start date.
