Gothenburg, Västra Götaland, Sweden Chalmers tekniska högskola Full time
Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our research group at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Chalmers tekniska högskola. The successful candidate will work on developing a multi-channel hyperthermia system for focused heat delivery into deep-seated tumors.

Project Overview

Hyperthermia, or the heating of tumor tissue to 40-44°C, is a treatment method that has shown significant promise in improving clinical outcomes for patients with advanced cancer. Our research group is developing microwave hyperthermia systems to improve treatment outcomes for patients with head and neck cancer and brain tumors. The project involves developing electromagnetic models using commercial software tools, designing and optimizing antenna systems, and performing measurements and calibration.

Responsibilities
  • Develop electromagnetic models and use them to improve antenna system design and mechanical design
  • Develop the water bolus and its cooling system
  • Develop a feedback control system for the amplifier system
  • Perform measurements and calibration of the antenna systems
About the Department

The Department of Electrical Engineering at Chalmers tekniska högskola is a leading research institution in biomedical engineering, antenna systems, signal processing, and communication systems. We offer a dynamic and international research environment with a diverse team of researchers and engineers from around the world.

Requirements

To be eligible for this position, you should have a Master's degree in a relevant field and a strong background in electromagnetic theory and antenna design. You should also have excellent communication and teamwork skills.
