The group of Wireless Instruments (WIN) affiliated to the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Tecnun (Universidad de Navarra), has a PhD/Postdoctoralposition available within the field of low power embedded system design. The PhD position is located at the Miramon Campus, for a period of 3 years. The position is scheduled to start before October 2023 and will be conducted under the supervision of Javier Díaz and Daniel Valderas.
Within the framework of the European project “blood2power”, the candidate will work in the development of an implanted wireless system to prevent the failure of vascular grafts. The active medical implant (AMI) will communicate to an external device when critical conditions are detected. Other partners will work in the development of the power harvesting system of the implant (i3s and Uporto in Portugal) and proof of concept with animal models (MUV, Austria). The project, of three years of expected duration, poses a high risk-high value avenue for cutting-edge development of biomedical devices.
Vascular grafts play a vital role in detecting narrowing/blockage of blood vessels, mostly in the heart (coronary arteries) and legs (peripheral arteries). However, vascular grafts have failure rates of up to 50%, mainly due to thrombosis and infection, which drastically result in Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)-related deaths. Blood2power project proposes an implanted electronic system that should be able to sense and monitor vascular graft´s performance, and telemetrically emit data/alerts to the healthcare system – Internet of Medical Things (IOMTS) – so that medical actions can be taken to avoid device failure. Taking advantage of blood flow through vascular grafts to generate electricity, the first battery-less intelligent vascular graft will be developed (i-GRAFT). the generated energy will enable to sense the narrowing of vessels (due to thrombosis and infection) and to self-power the wireless transmission of data (telemetry).
In particular the PhD position will cover the following tasks:
• Power link budget and architecture definition of the system.
• Selection and implementation of communication protocols for the implant.
• Microcontroller programming for communication between the implanted and external device.
• Implanted antenna design.
• Fabrication and characterization of a prototype, including body phantom and wireless link characterization according to a realistic scenario.
• Final in vivo proof of concept in an animal model.
The work will be embraced inside a PATHFINDER European project called Blood2Power that aims new way to harvest energy, taking advantage of blood flow through vascular grafts to generate electricity, and using it to create the next generation vascular graft. Therefore, it will allow the candidate to interact with internationally recognized researchers in the fields of bioengineering, physics and medicine/veterinary.
The Ph.D. student will benefit from well-equipped environments, international, diverse and multidisciplinary community of the University and the project research team.
Applicant Profile:
Qualifications: The candidate should possess an MSc degree or equivalent in Electrical Engineering or Telecommunications Engineering.
Experience: The ideal candidate should have some knowledge and experience in a number of the following topics:
-
Microcontrollers programming.
-
Wireless communications.
-
Low power and low energy circuit operation.
-
Antenna design.
Skills: Solid background in radiofrequency and antenna technology, as well as embedded digital systems.
Language Skills: Fluent written and verbal communication skills in English are required. Communication skills in Spanish are not necessary although recommended.
Applications should be submitted to ofertastecnun@unav.es and include:
• Full CV, including a list of publications.
• Name (and email address, etc.) of two/three referees.
• Transcript of all modules and results from university-level courses taken.
• Research statement and topics of particular interest to the candidate (300 words).
All qualified individuals are encouraged to apply.
Early application is highly encouraged, as the applications will be processed upon reception.
The Tecnun School of Engineering and the University of Navarra embrace inclusion and diversity as key values. We are fully committed to removing any discriminatory barrier related to gender, and not only, in recruitment and career progression of our staff.
