PhD Project - Engineering – The Multicorder: Nanophotonics for Integrated Sensing and Imaging

Start Date: ASAP

An opportunity is available to an excellent student to work on nanophotonic physics and engineering to realise a sophisticated biomedical diagnostic system. The resulting technology will also have applications in new imaging technologies, including quantum enhanced imaging for medical and security applications.

As a research student you will be given the opportunity to work on design and fabrication of novel surface plasmon resonance or metamaterial based structures for photonic signal enhancement. You will work on chemical functionalization, supported by collaboration with leading chemists and biochemists in the University of Glasgow. You will also receive full training and the freedom to use the University’s excellent James Watt Nanofabrication Centre where we have state-of-the-art electron beam lithography and associated technologies that underpin our position as world leaders.

You will be a member of the Microsystem Technology group that presently has a 9 post-doctoral research fellows, all of whom are active in supporting research student training and development. You will join a group of peers and share ideas and develop new research ideas as a valued member of a team.
