Postdoc position in light multiplexed, fiber-based artificial sensorimotor network

The Robotic Materials group is looking for a highly motivated postdoc for the topic of light multiplexed artificial sensorimotor network.This position is funded by our .

Project background

The introduction of fiber optics in the 1970s has revolutionized the telecommunications industry upon the replacement of copper wires and played a major role in the advent of the Information Age - One high bandwidth fiber optic cable can replace thousands of electrical links to transmit the same amount of information. As a parallel to the thriving fields of soft devices and robots controlled by electrical signals, soft optics is emerging as a new platform that uses the modulation of light in soft matter to encode multifunctionalities in the optical path. 

The focus of this project is to expand both actuation and sensing capacities with light. The ...
