Postdoctoral Researcher in Metasurfaces and Multicore Fibers for Optical Extreme Learning Machines

The Metasurface Team at CRHEA (CNRS) invites applications for a six-month postdoctoral position within the ANR MetaCoupler project. The role focuses on integrating optical metasurfaces with multicore fibers for lensless endoscopy and photonic computing, specifically implementing Extreme Learning Machines (ELMs) with passive metasurfaces to reduce electronic processing. Key tasks include designing metasurfaces for complex optical weights, translating numerically trained weights into manufacturable optical masks, and contributing to fabrication and characterization of a passive-metasurface demonstrator. The position requires expertise in nanophotonics, metasurfaces, electromagnetic simulations, and collaboration with PhLAM partners on photonic ELMs and multicore fibers.
