The goal is to create sensor prototypes using space-time modulated metasurfaces for real-time environmental monitoring, optimizing design for sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability. This involves exploring materials, assessing electromagnetic properties, and compensating for fabrication imperfections and manufacturing tolerances using polynomial chaos, stochastic methods, and AI. Rigorous testing will assess sensor performance under factors like temperature and humidity. Integration into environmental monitoring systems will be pursued, ensuring compatibility. Field tests will validate effectiveness in real scenarios, comparing with conventional sensors. The research will optimize power consumption, develop analysis algorithms, explore cost-effective fabrication, and assess scalability. The study will also conduct an environmental impact assessment for a holistic approach to research objectives.

1. The candidate must not have been awarded a PhD Degree.
2. A Master’s Degree is required in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Telecommunications, or a related field.
3. Candidates must not have resided in Greece for more than 12 months within the three years preceding their employment start date. Additionally, for the remainder of this period, candidates must provide evidence of residing outside Greece.
4. Proficiency in written and spoken English is required and must be formally demonstrated.
5. Both the Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees must be awarded by academic institutions officially recognized by the Hellenic National Academic Recognition and Information Centre (Hellenic NARIC, see link: https://www.doatap.gr/home_english/organization_english/). Official recognition is automatically granted if the Degrees have been awarded by academic institutions listed in the following Hellenic NARIC registry: https://www.doatap.gr/anagnorish/ethniko-mitroo-anagnorismenon-idrymaton-anotatis-ekpaidefsis-tis-allodapis/ . If the awarding institution of either the Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree (or both) is not included in the aforementioned registry, an official recognition certificate for the respective Degree(s) is required from Hellenic NARIC.
6. Knowledge of metasurface modelling using HFSS or CST is necessary.
