Description:

Research on solutions to power implantable devices using wireless power transmission, energy harvesting, battery cells, supercaps and combination of these technologies. Estimation of solutions for power supply taking into consideration energy budget, battery life, distance, thermal aspects, encapsulation, biocompatibility, reliability  …Design and implement prototypes for testing (meso & micro scales).

This PhD will take place at ValoTec premises next to Paris. This PhD is done in association with the SATIE laboratory from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan and CNRS.

The student will be able to follow a training program with the other members of the consortium. 

Applicant background:

1. Very good Master degree in electronics, electromagnetics or physics.
2. Skills in electromagnetic field, electromagnetic simulations (ANSYS, COMSOL, ..), circuit simulation (Spice like simulators), …
3. Skills in general physics
4. Matlab programming and other programming languages such as C/C++
5. Skills in low power electronics  is a plus

Additional information:

ValoTec was founded in 2005 and stems from the SATIE laboratory, one of the biggest laboratories in France specialized in electrical engineering. ValoTec develops for its clients, from start-up to large companies, active medical devices, diagnostic devices, test and measurement equipment. ValoTec provides a pragmatic method, by driving in parallel research & development, regulatory assessment and design thinking approach to help its clients from the idea to the manufacturing of the product.

The Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan (ENS Cachan: http://www.ens-cachan.fr/), a prestigious public institution of higher education and research founded in 1912, is one of the major French Grandes Écoles, which are considered the pinnacle of French higher education

SATIE is a research laboratory in electronics and electrical engineering, the studies of which are focused on systems and applications of information and the management of electrical energy technologies (http://www.satie.ens-cachan.fr/). SATIE is  also affiliated to the institutes "INSIS" (Engineering and Systems Sciences) of the CNRS.
