Intern in Embedded Systems for Secure 4G Communication and Protocol Integration

This internship offers students an opportunity to participate in the development of communication software for modern embedded platforms with 4G (LTE) connectivity. The main focus is on implementing a secure and reliable data transmission stack (including encryption) on devices such as STM32, ARM Linux, or ESP32. Students will also extend the system with selected industrial…

Benchmark of selected algorithms on acceleration cards

This internship offers students the opportunity to gain insight into the world of high-performance computing on specialized hardware accelerators. The goal of the internship is to create benchmark tasks for the modern AMD VCK5000 and AMD Alveo U50LV acceleration cards. Typical tasks such as matrix multiplication, Fourier transforms, and neural network inference will be tested.…

Diagnostics of Reactive Plasma Using a Planar High-Frequency Probe During the Deposition of Layers with Antiviral Effects

As part of the internship, the student will be involved in the research of plasma deposition of crystalline CuFeO2 layers with antiviral effects. The deposition of CuFeO2 layers will be carried out using the method of reactive pulsed magnetron sputtering with an additional high-frequency inductively coupled plasma operating in resonance with the electron cyclotron wave.…

Preparation and Optimization of Inorganic Crystals for the Detection of Ionizing Radiation

During the internship, the student will become familiar with the characterization and preparation of crystals for scintillation detectors of ionizing radiation. The crystals will be prepared using the modern micro-pulling-down method, which is currently available only at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The influence of composition (stoichiometry) of gadolinium-gallium-aluminum garnet-based…

Detection of pathogens or antibodies against pathogens using the series of LSPR active nanocomposites

The main aim of this study is to develop a new detection system for selected bacteria and viruses, as well as their proteins and antibodies against them. The detection system is focused on the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) where pathogen/protein/antibody attached to the LSPR sensors (containing metal nanoparticles) changes the optical and electrical characteristics.…

Functional nanolayers for the real world

At the Laboratory of Functional Biointerfaces at the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, we focus on the development and study of functional nanolayers that can resist unwanted surface contamination – so-called antifouling coatings. These special surfaces find broad applications in medicine, biosensing, and industry. Our goal is to understand and control…

Intern for numerical modeling of failure in heterogeneous materials

This internship offers students the opportunity to participate in research on fracture processes in concrete and other heterogeneous materials. Due to its internal structure—cement matrix, aggregate, and pores—concrete is a complex material in which failure often develops at the cement paste/aggregate interface. The student will work on 2D/3D numerical modeling of this process using cohesive…

Determining the endurance life of selected construction materials

Current methods for determining the fatigue life of concrete structures focus on reducing stresses in structural elements. However, this approach only considers the degradation of mechanical properties due to cyclic loading and not the gradual development of microcracks. This topic is primarily concerned with the experimental determination of the fatigue life of construction materials, particularly…

Intern for research into hydrogen storage materials

This internship offers students the opportunity to participate in research into modern materials designed for the efficient storage of hydrogen – a key element in future energy solutions. The student will participate in the preparation of materials for hydrogen storage, the creation of graphs from measured data, and their basic processing. The internship will also…

Intern for experimental measurement of crack propagation velocity in polyethylene samples

This internship offers students the opportunity to participate in research on the durability of polymer materials, specifically high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which is commonly used in the manufacture of pressure pipes. The aim is to experimentally monitor and evaluate the mechanism of slow crack growth in different types of samples. While methods are well developed for…
