Industrial Ph.D. Opportunity: Experimental Photonic Computing

Location: Rome, Italy

Institutions: IIT-CLN2S and Rebel Dynamics SRL Jointlab

Role Type: Experimental / Hardware Development

The Project: WaveCore

The Joint Lab between IIT-CLNS and Rebel Dynamics SRL is seeking a dedicated PostDoc to kick-off and develop WaveCore , a patented Optical Processing Unit (OPU).

WaveCore builds on Photonic Emergent Learning (PhEL) a technique rooted in foundational research on Spin Glass dynamics conducted with Nobel Laureate Giorgio Parisi1*** . By utilizing binarized electromagnetic fields, WaveCore enables accelerated computing/classification *2 and compressed storage 3 significantly outperforming traditional digital systems.

This project focuses on the practical application of these photonic principles for high-speed, low-energy data processing aimed to act as a computing sensor in autonomous systems (drones) and aerospace technology.

Key Responsibilities

Experimental Kick-off: Lead the assembly, alignment, and optimization of the WaveCore optical processor.
Hardware Integration: Synchronize adaptive optical devices (DMDs) with electronic control systems and photodetection suites.
Performance Validation: Measure and optimize the computational advantage of the WPU in comparison tasks.
R&D Scaling: Transition the current proof-of-concept toward robust, field-deployable applications for onboard data processing.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for an experimentalist with a strong pedigree in physical optics and a drive to build next-generation hardware.

Requirements:

Master Degree or PhD in Physics, Electrical/Optical Engineering, or a related discipline.
Experimental Expertise: Strong background in optical design, alignment, and instrumentation.
Wavefront Shaping: Direct experience with Digital Micromirror Devices (DMDs) and adaptive optics.

About the Partnership

This position sits at the intersection of prestigious academic research and agile industrial innovation. You will work within the Optical Development Group at IIT-CLN2S in Rome, leveraging the commercial and engineering expertise of Rebel Dynamics SRL to bring the OPU to the market.

To Apply: Please send your CV and a cover letter highlighting your experimental experience in wavefront shaping to giovanni.todeschini@rebeldynamics.it
