Photonics for Biomedical Applications

Project will be within existing core expertise of CAPPA and the Photonics Device Dynamics Group.

The Photonic Device Dynamics group is based in the Tyndall National Institute and the Centre for Advanced Photonics and Process Analysis (CAPPA) in CIT. In the last 5 years, the group has amassed over 50 journal publications, been awarded over €8 million in funding from both national and EU sources, has collaborated with 11 of the top 100 universities, and worked with over 30 companies. Group facilities include 4 state-of-the-art labs, some of which are based in the Tyndall National Institute through the CIT@Tyndall collaboration. The research aims of the group are to advance the understanding of the dynamics of novel semiconductor materials and devices from both applied and fundamental viewpoints. Major research strands include non-linear dynamics of coupled lasers and ultrafast laser physics. Further information on the research themes and industry work carried out by the group can be found at http://www.physics.cit.ie/photonics and http://www.cappa.ie.

The successful applicant will undertake their research work under the supervision of the group leader Dr. Guillaume Huyet and will be expected to work with several prominent international collaborators. Applicants need to be highly self-motivated as the successful applicant will be expected to generate high quality publications and present at prestigious international conferences.
