We recommend that you apply early as the advert may be removed before the deadline.

Topological or meta-structured surfaces are known to achieve remarkable sensing and resonances such as super-blackbody, extraordinary point and bound in continuum. However their material to light interaction and material to light to other types of molecules are not well understood. PhD candidate will be doing optical simulations and fabrication of devices for various types of testing, and will be involved in hands on optical and materials testing and equipment set up. Further as industry opportunities arise the candidate may be involved. Other related projects that are of academic and industry impact can be suggested and driven by candidate.

Applicants should have, or expect to achieve, at least a 2.1 honours degree or a master’s (or international equivalent) in a relevant science or engineering related discipline.

2.1 BSc or MSc degree in electrical engineering, physics (applied), materials science and engineering. Chemical engineers who are interested in physics are also welcomed.

To apply, please contact the main supervisor, Dr Joel Loh. Please include details of your current level of study, academic background and any relevant experience and include a paragraph about your motivation to study this PhD project. Independent, self-driven and curious candidates are welcomed.
