Doctoral Researcher in nano-scale control of optical fields

Full-time Science, Research and Teaching

Your role and goals

In this position, you will act as a doctoral researcher working on design and testing of novel nanofabricated optical components. The design will be done using advanced numerical calculation methods, such as Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. Approaches based on inverse engineering and machine learning will also be considered. The samples will be fabricated using the clean room facilities of Aalto University and tested using the equipment of the Optics and Photonics group. We expect you to be able to generate good scientific ideas, propose new technological solutions, initiate and maintain scientific collaboration, write scientific articles and research proposals, and participate in teaching. We expect you to graduate as a Doctor of Science in four years.
