Investigate the most promising on-chip photonic concept for capnography by benchmarking candidate approaches and running first simulations aligned with CO₂-in-breath requirements. Evaluate simulation tools for optical-chip design and gas–chip interaction, and analyze optical coupling, gas interaction, manufacturability, and expected sensitivity. This master-level internship focuses on concept selection and simulation; experimental fabrication and bench testing are out of scope.

Key Responsibilities

  • •Identify and simulate a best-fit on-chip photonic concept for capnography considering optical performance, chip coupling, gas interaction, simulation feasibility, and relevance to CO₂ measurement.
  • •Benchmark CO₂-based on-chip photonic concepts and compare their trade-offs.
  • •Determine appropriate simulation software tools (or combinations) for chip design, optical coupling, and gas interaction.
  • •Simulate and optimize the selected concept against first-order capnography requirements.
  • •Focus on concept benchmarking, simulation-tool selection, and first simulations (no experimental realization, fabrication, or bench testing).
