Other EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No /ph3Offer Description /h3pThe project will develop tools and methods to operate global telecommunication networks as large-scale distributed sensors. We will createbr/sensitive, high-resolution photonic techniques to measure optical-cable deformation interferometrically using low-phase-noise lasers,br/integrating these sources on chip to overcome the bulk, cost, and scalability limits of current systems. In parallel, we will design a networkbr/architecture that exposes sensing elements to the control layer and converts their data into actionable information. This will supportbr/sustainable resource use, self-healing through early fault detection, and rapid responses to hazards affecting people and critical infrastructure. Combining expertise in optical networks, photonics, seismology, and network operation, the consortium will conduct longbr/term tests on fibres carrying live traffic, improve data interpretation, and share results with the scientific community. /pulliOTHER /li /ulpbEligibility of fellows: country/ies of residence: /b /pulliOTHER /li /ulpbEligibility of fellows: nationality/ies: /b /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
