Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the POWERlab's Ph.D. students and postdocs on record-breaking GaN power devices, terahertz electronics, and microfluidic cooling. Open to EPFL bachelor and master students, at every level of commitment.
A full-semester project co-supervised by a POWERlab Ph.D. student or postdoc — a chance to own a concrete scientific question and deliver measurable results.
A full 30 ECTS research thesis integrated into POWERlab's ongoing projects — from GaN power devices and microfluidic cooling to THz electronics and ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors.
Probe GaN HEMTs, multi-channel transistors, and ultrawide-bandgap devices in our cleanroom and measurement benches. Combine electrical characterization with TCAD and physics-based modelling to connect device behavior to its underlying physics.
Push the boundaries of co-designed electronics with monolithically-integrated microfluidic cooling (mMMC). Work on thermal characterization, two-phase flow, and fluidic design for the next generation of compact, high-power-density converters.
Develop and apply calorimetric and electrical methods to precisely quantify the losses of GaN- and wide-bandgap-based power converters — closing the gap between device-level figures of merit and system-level efficiency.
Design, build, and benchmark high-efficiency converters around our in-house GaN devices. Explore novel topologies, gate drivers, and packaging to translate record device performance into record system performance.
There are always several projects open — for semester projects, master theses, and summer internships. If one of the themes above resonates with you, reach out directly to discuss the scope in more detail.
