Commitment & contract : Postdoc – fixed term collaboration contract
Location: Genova
WHO WE ARE
At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society. Our Genoa headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our 11 centers around Italy and two outer-stations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary experience.
YOUR TEAM
The COg ITOR lab is led by Prof. Alessandro Chiolerio, within the Bioinspired Soft Robotics research unit, under the responsibility of Dr. Barbara Mazzolai. You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group and collaborate to carry out common research with outstanding facilities.
The position is based on a research project funded by the European Innovation Council And SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) under grant agreement No. 964388 COg ITOR (A new COlloidal cybernet Ic sys Tem t Owa Rds 2030, https://cogitor-project.eu/) coordinated by IIT, in the person of A. Chiolerio.
The activity foresees the development and evaluation of a prototype of a colloidal cybernetic system, a multifunctional platform composed of liquid state material able to self-heal, sensing, computation and memorization, energy recovery and conversion, integrating an ad hoc electronics.
The research aims to develop, characterize and optimize a liquid state pressure sensor, as well as to integrate the energy, sensing and computing subsystems into the final unit, the COg ITOR prototype. The prototype will be then characterized to assess the cross-talk between subsystems and the response in extreme environment.
Within the team, your main responsibilities will be:

Fabrication of the liquid state pressure sensor
Characterization of the sensor
Integration of the subsystems (pressure, energy, computing) into a single device
Integrated system testing
Extreme environment testing
