PhD Scholarship in Computational Electromagnetics: Development of Computational Method for the Simulation of Nanophotonic Devices

Applications are invited to the Civil and Computational Research Centre, Swansea University, for a PhD in the field of Computational Electromagnetics. The Civil and Computational Engineering Centre represents one of the highest quality groups anywhere in the world focused on Computational Engineering and is set in parkland overlooking Swansea bay.
Driven by the industrial need of miniaturising optical and photonic devices and components, the field of computational electromagnetics is nowadays experiencing a boom. The proposed research project will contribute to the development of advanced computational techniques that will allow helping and improving the design stages of several optical, photonic and nanophotonic devices such as resonators and nanolasers. The student will benefit from working in a fully interdisciplinary group composed by engineers, mathematicians and physicists and they will also benefit from the existing collaborations with other leading universities.

The Civil and Computational Engineering Centre has an international reputation for excellence in the development and use of Computational Engineering techniques, which cover an ever-increasing spectrum of applications right across engineering sectors. The successful candidate will work in the group of Prof. Ken Morgan, Prof. Oubay Hassan and Dr. Rubén Sevilla.
