Research group: Visual Sensor Systems
Visual Sensor System is a research group in STC research centre. In the group, research focus is embedded vision systems especially optical measurement and surveillance systems. The group is working together with industry on real world problems.
Visual sensor system group is looking for a student who will be working together with our researchers. The applicant is required to have knowledge and interest in both software and hardware based embedded systems.
The focus area will be embedded vision systems for safety critical applications which have real time requirement. The aim is to investigate and develop energy efficient and high performance embedded solutions for such applications. The study will involve scientific work and experimental work such as simulation, synthesis and implementation.
Research Group: Wireless Sensor Systems
The Wireless Sensor Systems research group has a focus on sensor and measurement systems, enabled by modern wireless data transfer. The applications of these systems are broad, but industrial sensing and environmental monitoring are current focus areas within the group.
We are currently looking for students in the research area of energy harvesting for wireless embedded systems. The applicants should have previous experience and a strong interest in at least one of the following areas: hardware design, embedded systems, system modeling, machine learning. Experience with wireless sensor networks and energy harvesting is beneficial. You will work in close collaboration with our researchers. The project will include both simulation and experimental work, and will have a strong scientific focus.
Research group: Detector & Photonics
The detector group at Mid Sweden University is actively participating in several European detector development projects, such as the MEDIPIX collaboration at CERN and BRIGHTNESS project at the European Spallation Source (ESS). The main activities of the group concern semiconductor based pixelated X-ray detectors and applications of radiation detectors for material inspection, medical and environmental measurements.
We are looking for students in the research area of electronics design and measurements with X-ray detectors. You should have an interest in some the following areas: sensor technology, electronics design, signal/image processing, simulation and programming (e.g. C/C++, Python, VHDL). Experience with radiation measurement or electronics design is beneficial.
You will work in close collaboration with our researchers. The project can include both simulation, design and experimental work and is specified in close “collaboration” with your supervisor. The project will have a strong attachment to ongoing research projects.
Research group: Power Electronics
The research group in Power electronics is currently working in different fields such as high performance power converters, induction heating and resistance welding applications. Power converters with high power density are developed with new semiconductor materials, novel transformer designs and high frequency operation. Power converters that can handle a larger voltage variations with high efficiency over the whole range are also under development. The research group are also working on induction and resistive heating for plastic welding. We are using microprocessors for the control of the power electronics so experience from embedded systems and power electronics are beneficial.
Do you find some of these subjects interesting and have the ability to work independently towards a common goal in a research oriented way then please send in an applications and we discuss your opportunities based on your interests and current projects.
