misalignment-tolerant bidirectional WPT technologies. Expected innovations include novel electromagnetic coupling and converter designs, integrated shielding concepts and real-world demonstrators that enable seamless, efficient, and high-power electric vehicle charging and discharging. The network delivers a training programme to 15 Doctoral Candidates (DC), providing capabilities to become leaders of tomorrow’s R&I in Europe.
Objective of the doctoral position: Development and experimental validation of a near-field communication system that is seamlessly integrated into a bidirectional WPT systems. The DC will realize the electrical and magnetic design of coupled communication channels, the development of duplex communication hardware and filtering circuits, and the implementation of synchronization and control algorithms. System-level experiments will demonstrate closed-loop control in both static and dynamic conditions, achieving low latency, high reliability, and enhanced overall efficiency.
The DC will participate in two planned secondments as part of the doctoral training programme: an academic secondment at the co-supervising university abroad and an industrial secondment at the mentor’s company. The DC is expected to submit regular progress reports to the local and network supervisors. In addition, the DC will actively participate in BiWPT’s training, dissemination, communication, and exploitation activities. The DC will prepare a doctoral thesis and publish scientific articles related to the research project.
