Prof Daniele Faccio
Applications accepted all year round
Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
Quantum technology, computational imaging and AI are emerging areas with expectations of leading a new revolution in how we see the world.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated student to be part of this revolution, within our project focused on quantum sensing, quantum imaging, detector technology, computational imaging and deep learning. The project will involve a balance of both experimental and theoretical/numerical work.
The final goal is to develop new detection and imaging methods with applications in quantum tomography, bio-imaging and medical imaging.
You will be part of a large (15+ researchers), dynamic research group with access to a state-of-the-art laser research facility and significant funds available for new research directions. Our work also relies on collaborations with world-leading research groups, this providing exciting opportunities for travel.
More information can be found on the group website, http://extremelight.eps.hw.ac.uk/ and by directly contacting D. Faccio, [Email Address Removed].
Funding Notes
Funding is available for UK residents and for overseas students. Applicants are advised to contact Dr Faccio with a CV and names of two referees.
Applications are open until the position is filled with flexible start dates.
