The research aims to enhance radar systems using innovative frequency selective surfaces (FSS) based on space-time modulated metamaterials. Objectives include designing FSS for radar applications, improving sensitivity, accuracy, and signal-to-noise ratios. Focus areas include adaptability to diverse environments, seamless integration with existing radar tech, and energy-efficient mechanisms for reduced power consumption. Advanced ML/DL algorithms optimize real-time data processing. Reliability testing ensures functionality under various conditions. The study explores cost-effective fabrication and assesses scalability. Compensation for imperfections will be considered using polynomial chaos, stochastic time-domain methodologies, and AI algorithms. Validation includes simulations and real-world tests, with findings disseminated through publications and conferences, benefiting the scientific community and radar technology stakeholders.

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.
