Official university vacancy imported from Eindhoven University of Technology. Details are presented for discovery and may change. Confirm the latest requirements and apply on the official source.

• Investigate disruptive new network architectures for AI compute clusters utilising optical switching and numerically assess the performance via software simulation tools.
• Define the system specifications which will be then translated into requirements for the design and implementation of the photonic WDM switch architecture and fast control.
• Investigate the photonic technologies to fabricate the switches.
• Design, simulate, fabricate and test the photonic integrated switches.
• Packaging and assessing the photonic integrated switches in collaboration with the industrial partners.
• Develop the optoelectronic interfaces and controls to enable remote reconfiguration operation.
• Develop and evaluate fast and efficient scheduling algorithms for fast control and reconfiguration of the optical AI compute clusters.
• Realize a small-scale compute cluster lab testbed to demonstrate and evaluate the performance of the innovative low latency and high capacity optical switched AI computer network architecture empowered by the developed photonic integrated WDM switches and controls.
