The QOPHI Lab is pleased to announce the opening of a call for Expressions of Interest for an enthusiastic and passionate researcher to enroll in a PhD opportunity in Underwater Optical Communications, in collaboration with Monodon by Navantia through the Navantia Monodon Chair with the Universidade de Vigo.

The research project involves a combination of hardware and software development, including optical system implementation, laboratory experimentation, and computational modeling, providing comprehensive training in both experimental photonics and system-level engineering.

Who we are?
The QOPHI LAB (Quantum, Communication, Photonic and Integration Lab) is a research laboratory specialized in photonics and optical communications, encompassing both classical and quantum domains. Its activities focus on areas such as fiber-based and free-space optical communications,



integrated photonics, optoelectronic systems, and quantum technologies, including Quantum Key Distribution (QKD).

The laboratory is equipped with advanced infrastructure for the characterization of photonic devices at wafer level, as well as experimental platforms for optical system validation in both guided and free-space environments. In addition, it leverages simulation tools for device- and system-level analysis, supporting the design and optimization of complex photonic architectures.

QOPHI LAB actively participates in national and international R&D; projects, including European frameworks, and maintains strong collaborations with industry, contributing to technology transfer and the development of innovative solutions in fields such as underwater communications, autonomous systems, and emerging quantum communication networks.
