Tampere University’s Laboratory for Future Electronics has open position for master’s thesis work. The laboratory investigates technologies and solutions related to devices, circuits, sensors, energy-autonomy, wearables, and system integration. Strong emphasis is placed on scalable, low-cost manufacturing methods such as printing as well as the integration of printed components and circuits with more conventional component assembly methods.
The open Master’s thesis position is related to on-going ECOtronics project. ECOtronics academic-industry consortium supports renewal of Finnish electronics and optics industry, to increase export, and to support development of sustainable electronics and optics throughout their lifecycles.
The work focuses on development and evaluation of environmentally friendly energy module to replace conventional batteries (e.g. coin cell or AAA batteries) in low-power indoor IoT-sensor systems.
The tasks of the open position consist of electrical design, implementation, and testing of energy module. The work includes design of power management circuit, fabrication of supercapacitors by printing technologies, integration of energy source and storage unit, and performance characterization. The work will be carried out in close collaboration between consortium partners. Travelling in Finland may be required.
