PhD

Fully-funded Ph.D. or master positions for the Nanotechnology program at Tecnológico de Monterrey, México. The selected candidates will join the Photonics and Mathematical Optics Group (http://optica.mty.itesm.mx/pmog/home.html).

Our research areas are Experimental Quantum Optics, Soliton propagation and nonlinear optics, Beam shaping and optical manipulation.

Project description

Fully-funded positions (all fees plus £14,553-per-year, tax free stipend) are available to undertake research in experimental quantum sensing and measurement. Four studentships are available via the Quantum Technology Hub for Sensors and Metrology, as part of which students will join a cohort of 20 students from across the UK. Candidates in this programme will spend part of their first year undertaking an MRes in Translational Quantum Technology at the University of Birmingham.

Positions are available on the following projects

Another PhD position is available to work at Peter Gruenberg Institute (PGI-2) and Juelich-Aachen Research Alliance Institute (JARA) in Forschungszentrum Juelich in Germany. The degree will be granted by RWTH University in Aachen. The student will work with Dr. Mohammad H. Ansari and the project can be started in the Summer or Fall 2017.

In conjunction with Leonardo MW Ltd, the Department of Computer Science is offering a fully funded PhD studentship at the University of York. Quantum detection is an emerging field which has been applied in the optical domains and is now being scaled to microwave frequencies to make “quantum radar”. A theoretical exploration of the subject is needed to determine the potential improvements in detection performance (e.g. range and robustness against noise) which quantum technology offers when compared to current “classical” detection methods.
