The position is a part of the collaboration between BRGM, IMT Atlantique and Elwave. At ITM Atlantique, you will be primarily in contact with ReV (Robotics And Living) team researchers.
BRGM, the French geological survey, is France’s leading public institution for Earth Science applications for the management of surface and sub-surface resources with a view to sustainable development (www.brgm.fr). Its action is oriented towards scientific research, support for public policies and international cooperation. At BRGM, you will be primarily in contact with DRP/IGT team (Geophysical imaging and remote sensing).
ELWAVE develops a new generation of detection systems using the electromagnetic technology known as « electric sense. » This innovation stems from a decade of research conducted at the biorobotics laboratory of the Institut Mines-Télécom Atlantique (IMT Atlantique). Since 2018, ELWAVE has been developing and marketing real-time, 360° detection and characterization systems for the offshore industry. ELWAVE, in collaboration with IMT Atlantique, developed the patented technology known as CEDAR (Controlled Electric Detection And Ranging), which is implemented in its first product, « Octopulse ».
This job offers 1 to 2-years postdoctoral position whose purpose is participating to design of a new sensor technology based on “electric sense” able to characterize objects materials in marine environment. Integrated to the R&D team, and leverage your expertise in electromagnetic characterization methods, you work on the following thematic:
- Define and conduct experimental scenarios (multi-frequency excitation, power, signal shape,
distance to the sample) on different materials - Analyse experimental data
- Participate in specifying new sensor features to characterize various materials in a marine
environment by defining the frequency range, power, waveform … - Collaborate in an interdisciplinary team
