Postdoc in Mid-IR Upconversion for AI-Enabled Real-Time High-Resolution Industrial NDT Scanners - AINDT - DTU Electro

Job description

The Technical University of Denmark has an open 2.5-year Postdoctoral Researcher position as part of the Grand Solutions project, “AINDT”. AINDT aims to deliver industrial mid-IR (MIR) OCT scanners that combine ultra-high resolution sub-surface optical imaging with AI-powered real-time defect and layer thickness detection. Hereby AINDT will enable in-line non-contact, non-destructive test (NDT) of highly scattering materials and advanced components critical for today’s society. This includes Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors (MLCCs) essential to modern high-volume electronics, advanced Multi-Material 3D Printed Ceramic (MMPC) -based antenna modules as key elements for the coming e-health environment and protective multi-layer coatings, all of which remain challenging for conventional inspection techniques. The interdisciplinary nature of the project requires that you enjoy working with both academic and industrial partners. Responsibilities and qualifications: You will explore novel methods for up and down conversion of MIR optical light in the 3-4 µm and 6-8 µm range respectively. A first part involves pulsed, synchronous upconversion of a supercontinuum (SC) light source which e...
