Master Thesis - Fluid density sensing by piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (f/m/d)

A new liquid density sensor based on our piezoelectric MEMS technology has been developed at SAL. The thesis will focus on proof-of-concept experiments and aims to verify the theoretical model of this liquid density sensor.

Tasks

• The main tasks consist of characterizing the liquid density sensor,
• designing and conducting experiments,
• optimizing the sensing structures.

Requirements

• Top master student with study or research background in MEMS, microfluidics, biomedical engineering, acoustics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, biology, or other related fields.
• Interested in the MEMS sensors, microfluidic systems, flow measurements.
• Knowledge of characterizing MEMS sensors or actuators.
• Experience with design of microfluidic devices would be preferred.
• Good oral and written English skills.

Benefits

• Start of your employment as soon as possible.
• We offer a rare opportunity to work with top experts to develop advanced pMUTs for next-generation Medical imaging applications.
• State-of-the-art lab facilities and instruments.
• Home Office possible.
• 4.- /day food allowance in restaurants / 2.- /day in supermarkets.
• Family- & Kids friendly.
• Free Coffee/Milk/Tee & fresh fruits.
• This position is subject to the Collective Agreement for employees in non-university research (Research CA). For this position, we offer a competitive gross salary of EUR 1.593, paid 14 times a year.

We offer a friendly working environment of high cultural diversity and multidisciplinary cooperation and a rare opportunity to work with top experts to develop a new flow sensor based on piezoelectric MEMS technology.
