Student project: Wireless power transfer integrated circuit design for mm-sized implants

*Important for non-EU students: You’ll need to be registered at a Dutch university to meet immigration requirements. 

What you will do

The number of implantable devices is rapidly increasing. However, the range of possible implantation devices is still limited by their size and by the availability of power. Wireless powering is a popular technique to provide energy to implantable devices. However, implementing a mm-sized implant requires innovative solutions. In this thesis, the use of mid-field RF to provide power to implantable devices will be investigated. In this thesis work you will perform the following activities:

• Literature review
• Circuit design
• Verification
• Layout
• Documentation

What we do for you

As the world-best research institute, we are the center of the excellence in nano-electronics design for Internet of Things and Healthcare applications. In this internship project, you will be working on the cutting-edge research project, under the supervision of the world-renown researchers from diverse background.   

Who you are

You have the following characteristics:

• Electrical Engineering Background with good analytical skills
• Knowledge of analog design circuits using CMOS transistors
• Structured way of reporting, both orally and written
• Motivated student eager to work independently and expand knowledge in the field
• Good written and verbal English skills
