Nanomaterials as White Light Emitters for Low Cost Lighting
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
White-light emission (WLE) from semiconductor nanostructures is presently a research area of intense interest especially where the primary objective is to replace conventional light sources by environmentally friendly materials in order to minimize energy costs and therefore the global energy consumption for lighting.

Film: an Ecology of Light
This PhD project weaves together film, ecology, and light, by addressing light as the filmic substance in the context of ecological discourse. Read more
Mechanisms underlying the effects of light and visual stimuli on mood
Light is not only important for vision, light responsiveness extends to fundamental aspects of mood, cognition, and performance. Read more
Quality assessment for light-field imaging
Among the recent media modalities enabling better immersive viewing experiences for the end-users, light field (LF) imaging is emerging. Read more
Design of light-responsive emulsions under ultrasonic radiation
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship studying the design of light-responsive “Pickering” emulsions formed under ultrasonic radiation. Read more
Photoadapt: Light-switchable chameleonic molecules for controlled permeability in plants
Light is unsurpassed in its ability to control biological systems with high spatial and temporal resolution. It has the advantages of non-invasive and remote action, reversibility, speed, and facile modulation of the energies involved (through use of different wavelengths/colours). Read more
PhD student positions in the Laser and Squeezed Light group at the AEI
The Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) in Hannover, Germany, is looking for highly motivated experimental physicists for PhD student positions. Read more
PhD in Engineering and Physics - Exploring the brain with quantum light
Improving the resolution in the imaging of biological tissues is of paramount importance for early detection of diseases, as well as their correct diagnosis and cure. Read more
PhD in Engineering Bio-inspired nanophotonic devices to control light emission on-a-chip
Natural systems offer a plethora of geometries and structures that have been optimised by billions of years of evolution. In particular, if we think of plants, flowers and insects, we can find examples of ingenious ways to create colours and to enhance the light-matter interaction, by reflecting and absorbing light.

Indoor Light Harvesting: A New Frontier for Organic Photovoltaics
There is rapidly growing interest in indoor photovoltaics because of their potential in the huge technology field of the Internet of Things (IoT) [1]. Read more
Exploring the interaction between light intensity and rootzone water deficit stress as a means of improving berry phytonutrient content and Class 1 strawberry yields in TCEA systems
Mark Else (NIAB EMR), Paul Hadley and Carrie Twitchen (University of Reading). Total environment-controlled agriculture (TCEA) systems offer great potential for a consistent supply of high quality and phytonutritious strawberries, provided that initial plant quality is high and growing conditions are fully optimised. Read more
Capturing wasted energy from urban light rail systems to support fleet EV charging for urban and last mile delivery vehicles
The University of Sheffield Energy Institute has a number of EPSRC-funded studentships available, in line with the Institute’s remit to carry out interdisciplinary research across the area of energy. Read more
MyWorld: Intelligent Low Light Denoising, Colorisation Enhancement
Broadcasters and streaming organisations are commissioning content with increasingly challenging acquisition specifications that extend our experiences into faster, smaller, more colourful, darker, and generally more immersive spaces. Read more
International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) Physics of Light
The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) Physics of Light, established at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL), announces this year’s call for student positions. Read more
Revealing the Hidden Light: Understanding the cosmic dust and cold gas in nearby galaxies.
Research Group:
Cardiff Hub for Astrophysics Research and Technology
Cosmic dust is often seen as an annoyance by astronomers, with over half the light ever emitted by stars in the Universe having been absorbed by a dust grain. Read more
