A fully-funded 3.5 years PhD position is available from 1st October 2022 to work under the supervision of Prof. Ferruccio Renzoni.
Studentship Description:
The UCL team has pioneered electromagnetic induction imaging with atomic magnetometers. So far, the approach was demonstrated only with hot atomic vapours or cold atoms. We now aim to use a Bose-Einstein condensate for imaging, opening up a new realm for electromagnetic microscopy, combining the exquisite sensitivity of atomic magnetometers with the extreme resolution of a Bose-Einstein condensate.
Person Specification:
The successful applicant should expect to achieve a 1 or 2.1 MSci degree in Physics.
Candidates should also have excellent written and verbal communication.
Eligibility:
The start date is 1st October 2022. The studentship will cover all university fees and includes funds for maintenance at the standard UK rate and for participation in international conferences and workshops.
