Industrial PhD project: Design and build of novel scientific instrumentation

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is the primary technique employed to determine the chemical composition and chemical state of material surfaces, with an analysis depth of approximately 5 nm. Read more

Advanced crystal-film engineering

Supervisory Team: Jacob Mackenzie. Project description. Novel crystalline photonic devices offer exciting opportunities for creating efficient lasers and manipulating the properties of light. Read more

Attosecond physics in solids

High Harmonic Generation in Solids (HHG-S) was first observed in ZnO crystal [1] and GaSe semi-conductor [2]. Recent results show that HHG-S can reach XUV range [3] towards the production attosecond pulses from solids. Read more

Programming Colloidal Self-Assembly for Advanced Materials

A PhD place is available with Dr Dwaipayan Chakrabarti in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham on a project themed on designing and developing colloidal advanced materials, using high-performance computing, underpinned by theories of statistical mechanics and wave propagation in periodic structures. Read more

Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Novel laser sources in the mid-infrared spectral region for security and sensing applications (Fraunhofer and University of Strathclyde)

  Research Group: CDT in Applied Photonics
This project will address the urgent requirement for new photonics tools in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral region to police stricter greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards and to progress imaging capabilities in poor visibility for security applications. Read more

CDT-QTE: On-chip quantum cryptography using two-dimensional materials

Supervisory Team: Dr Yasir Noori, Prof Frederic Gardes, Prof Jize Yan. Project description: This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton. Read more

New concepts and advanced materials for quantum nanophotonics

  Research Group: Inorganic Semiconductors
After the discovery of two-dimensional (2D) atomically thin carbon crystal, graphene, a very large family of layered 2D “van der Waals materials” came to light, called after the van der Waals forces holding together their atomic planes. Read more

Organometallic and Lanthanide Complexes for Upconversion Luminescence

PhD Supervisor. Richard C. Knighton. Project Overview. The aim of the project is to work on state-of-the-art heteropolymetallic architectures (organometallic transition-metal and lanthanide complexes) in the area of two-photon molecular upconversion luminescence, for application as novel bioimaging probes. Read more

Integrated polysilicon photonics

Supervisory Team:   Prof Anna Peacock, Prof David Thomson, Prof Harold Chong. Project description. Silicon materials are synonymous with the microelectronics industry and the processors in everyday gadgets such as mobile phones, tablets, digital radios and televisions. Read more

Photonic time crystals

Supervisory Team: Kevin MacDonald, Nikolay Zheludev. Project description. Time crystals are an eagerly sought phase of matter in which time-translation symmetry is broken. Read more
