Prof A Podoleanu No more applications being accepted Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

About the Project

A PhD position is available in the field of Lasers for Biomedical Optics. This project is in competition with other projects offered by the School of Physical Sciences for one of a number of Vice Chancellor’s PhD Studentships.

The aim of the project is to devise the next generation of lasers for optical coherence tomography (OCT). Time stretch technology consists in using an ultrashort, ultrawide bandwidth laser that is stretched in a dispersing element. Using the concept of time stretch, over tens of MHz tuning rate becomes possible. Such lasers can drive the future OCT systems that will find application in surgery and real time navigation.

The successful candidate will be based at the University of Kent’s main campus in Canterbury as part of the Applied Optics Group, and work under the supervision of Professor Adrian Podoleanu (Kent), with co-supervision from collaborators at the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology on using such imaging tools for real time observation.

This PhD Studentship is due to start in September 2019.
