Next-generation cancer diagnosis and treatment using integrated snake-like robot with optical imaging
The cancer of the bile ducts affects around 3000 people in the UK each year and its incidence and mortality are increasing. We are seeking a Ph.D. Read more
PhD in Advanced Light-Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy
Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) is a high-speed 3D fluorescence imaging method capable of imaging at up to 1000s of frames per second and 10s of volumes per second, and it is applied widely to the study of biomedical samples. Read more
EPSRC iCASE PhD Studentship in Quantum sensors: Low Frequency Rydberg Atom Sensor
Radio Frequency (RF) sensors based on highly-excited ‘Rydberg’ atoms offer unique capabilities. Atoms are intrinsically calibrated, and their properties are universal, so measurements should be reliable and repeatable. Read more
Exploring Hyper-Entangled Photonic Quantum Computation
Quantum computation promises revolutionary advances in processing power, enabling the solution of problems that are intractable for classical computers. Read more
Experimental study of tunable fibre-optic and semiconductor optical frequency combs
Applications are invited for a three-year Postgraduate studentship, supported by the Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies at Aston University. . Read more
Revealing the correlation between physiology and physical chemistry of microcalcification in connective tissue using AI supported tissue characterization.
Research Group:
Healthcare Engineering
A fundamental component of human body is connective tissue which serves various structural and supportive functions including skin integrity, abdominal wall enforcement and bone formation. Read more
Advanced Spin-Optical Probes for Molecular Semiconductors
From photovoltaics to biosensors, the quantum-mechanical property of spin plays a central role in next-generation photonic materials based on molecules. Read more
Spin-based quantum sensors from chemically synthesised molecules
This project, available through the Centre for Doctoral Training in Applied Quantum Technologies, seeks to develop versatile and widely deployable quantum sensors based on electronic spins in luminescent molecules. Read more
Developing optical beamshaping approaches for optical trapping and optical tweezering of aerosols
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Experimental quantum communications at any scale
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Quantum Communications (QC) are revolutionising the way we transmit information and connect remote parties. Read more
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) - Laboratory-based physical emulation of long path atmospheric turbulence for imaging sensors (Thales and University of Glasgow)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
Advanced imaging systems, operating in the visible and thermal infrared bands, are critical for a wide range of defence and security applications. Read more
Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Next generation long range laser rangefinders based on single photon detectors and new laser technologies (Thales and Heriot-Watt University)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
Laser Rangefinders are a key element of modern sensor systems and can range up to 20km with an accuracy of less than 1m. Thales UK produced the first in-service laser rangefinder in 1965, just a few years after the invention of the laser, and have been designing and manufacturing laser systems ever since. Read more
Optomechanical Metasurfaces for Biophotonics Applications.
The Synthetic Optics group (https://synthopt.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/) in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of St Andrews has a large portfolio of research projects aimed at designing and exploiting light matter interactions at the nanoscale. Read more
