The Centre for Advanced Photonics and Process Analysis (CAPPA) in Cork, Ireland, has 3 positions available for postgraduate researchers in the area of photonic devices research.

Study Subject : Photonics
Course Level : Postgraduate
Scholarship Provider: Marie Curie Actions Research Framework Programme
Scholarship can be taken at: Ireland

Eligibility:
Postgraduate students interested in pursuing either an M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree in photonics.

Photonics is the generation and manipulation of light (e.g. lasers), and is a key enabling technology in a wide range of application areas, including telecommunications and medical imaging. The positions currently available are: Marie Curie PhD on Modelling and Characterisation of QD Structures and Lasers – within the PROPHET EU network PhD on Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Novel Photonic Structures – within the INSPIRE national graduate programme MSc on Development of a UV Photocatalysis Water Purification Unit – within the EU FP7 project AQUA-PULSECAPPA is a research group of Cork Institute of Technology (www.cit.ie) with several members based in the Tyndall National Institute (www.tyndall.ie). The group’s research aims to advance the understanding of the dynamics of novel semiconductor materials and devices from both applied and fundamental viewpoints. Current areas of interest include the properties of quantum dot (QD) systems (principally InAs dots and more recently GaSb dots) and the behaviour of semiconductor devices under optical feedback and injection (see also www.physics.cit.ie/photonics for more information). Tyndall National Institute is one of Europe’s leading research centres, addressing the scientific advances that are needed for the information technology of the future. The Institute is located on a high-tech campus in Cork city, Ireland. In Tyndall, over 350 researchers, engineers, students and support staff work together in the areas of photonics, micro/nanoelectronics, microsystems and theory and modelling.
