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

Advanced vibration isolation and control for a large suspended optical cavity

The gravitational wave interferometer detectors are the most sensitive instrument in the world. They sense the position change of test masses due to the passing gravitational waves to the precision in the order of 10-20m!  The planned future detectors are aiming to improve the sensitivity 10-fold and broaden the sensitive frequency range.

Search for new physics with LHC data and developing ultra-fast silicon detectors

We have one fully-funded place for a new PhD student to join our LHCb team, working in the particle physics group at the University of Birmingham, exploring the latest LHC data collected with the LHCb experiment. Read more

Next generation single-photon avalanche diode for emerging quantum technology applications

We are seeing the second quantum revolution, bringing quantum theory out of the lab. The advantage of quantum theory is opening a huge range of application in many sectors such as environment, data security, telecommunication, defence and aerospace etc. Read more
