Research Fellow (Electronic and Electrical Engineering / Physics / Microelectronics)

Roles & Responsibilities

National Integrated Centre for Evaluation (NiCE) @ NTU is a collaboration between Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) and NTU. Strategically located in NTU to leverage on their knowledge, expertise and experience in software and hardware assurance, NiCE will be a one-stop facility for product testing, inspection and evaluation.

In this opening, we are looking for a Research Fellow to conduct secure and reliable research on microchips used in quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. The researcher will focus on investigating and identifying potential hardware-level security vulnerabilities and exploring innovative, attack-resistant design solutions.

Key Responsibilities :

• Conduct hardware security analysis of microchips, with a focus on potential attack approaches such as laser probing.
• Investigate and explore emerging, innovative attack techniques for hardware security evaluation.
• Build testing environments and perform rigorous physical security evaluations (e.g., laser probing, e-beam probing) to assess real-world security performance.
• Study potential protective mechanisms and collaborate closely with teams in QKD system design, photonic design, and electronics development to integrate security features into the overall QKD system architecture.
