About the Project
The University of Bath is inviting applications for the following PhD project under the supervision of Prof Ventsislav Valev in the Department of Physics.
Overview of the Research:
Recently, our group has discovered several new physical effects – this work has been recognised with awards from the Institute of Physics and the Royal Society of Chemistry. We pioneered ways to detect the twist of nanostructures using powerful lasers. Such twist (or ‘chirality’) is crucial for the origin of life, for nanorobots, for human-made self-assembling technology, for developing new pharmaceuticals, etc. This project involves ultrashort laser pulses to study nanomaterials of different shape and composition. We aim to build a quantum light source and to discover further new physical effects that will pave the way for nanorobotic and self-assembling meta-materials.
Project keywords: Quantum, photonics, magnetism, optics, chirality, laser, spectroscopy, metamaterials, nano
Candidate Requirements:
Applicants should hold, or expect to receive, a First Class or good Upper Second Class UK Honours degree (or the equivalent) in Physics or a related scientific discipline. A master’s level qualification would also be advantageous but is not essential.
Non-UK applicants must meet our English language entry requirement.
Enquiries and Applications:
Applicants are encouraged to contact Prof Ventsislav Valev on email address vkv23@bath.ac.uk before applying to find out more about the project and to discuss their suitability for the role.
Formal applications should be made via the University of Bath’s online application form for a PhD in Physics.
More information about applying for a PhD at Bath may be found on our website.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion:
We value a diverse research environment and aim to be an inclusive university, where difference is celebrated and respected. We welcome and encourage applications from under-represented groups.
If you have circumstances that you feel we should be aware of that have affected your educational attainment, then please feel free to tell us about it in your application form. The best way to do this is a short paragraph at the end of your personal statement.
Funding Notes
We welcome year-round applications from self-funded students; for example, those who have secured an external scholarship or those who have other means of supporting their studies in full (tuition fees, bench fees and living expenses, as well as relocation and immigration costs where applicable).
