2. Fully Funded PhD in Sustainable Photocatalysis / Atomic Photocatalysis

Summary of Funded PhD Program

These projects aim to explore new materials for photocatalysis – and possibly extend them to electrocatalysis. The portfolio of materials expand from sustainable materials – including CN-based materials, earth-abundant nanostructures, 2D materials and transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDs) – all the way to single atoms and vacancies/defects. By employing novel characterization techniques, we aim to discover and control new energy conversion pathways in these materials aiming to maximize the light-matter interaction as well as understand and modulate the charge-transfer energy barriers.

4. Fully Funded PhD in Polymeric integrated optics

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Although the use of polymeric platforms in integrated (on-chip) photonic devices is extremely interesting, it is still seldom reported. In fact, there are only a few studies in this direction on structures fabricated by two-photon polymerization, which contrasts to the number of similar studies in semiconductor structures. In this project one aims at fabricating polymeric devices via two-photon polymerization for integrated optics, mainly using the Nanoscribe facility full accessible to the host group.

5. Fully Funded PhD in Optical thermometry on nanoscale

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Thermal effects manifest themselves in condensed matter systems in a variety of ways, from the simple deposition of energy in a material due to light absorption, leading to local heating and temperature increase, to the opposite effect, where phonon-assisted light absorption leads to material’s cooling. The first kind of process can be exploited for detecting nanoparticles with sub 10 nm sizes in diffraction limited optical systems, while the second is used for laser cooling of solids. There are in between a myriad of thermal processes and different ways to exploit and apply them.

6. Fully Funded PhD in Efficient generation of coherent surface acoustic waves using single plasmonic nanoparticles and their manipulation

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Miniaturization and speed of electronic and optical components represent an essential step towards the achievement of high performance, low environmental impact, and lightweight devices. Recently, new approaches to this subject aiming at more compact and fast devices, exploiting the lattice strain created in a solid described by its fundamental excitations are gaining attention in the fast-growing field of phononics. Phonons are particularly interesting due to the possibility of interacting with virtually any excitations observable in the solid-state phase. Acoustic phonons present inspiring analogies with photons.

7. Fully Funded PhD in Active metaoptics

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Nanophotonics has led to a huge progress in understanding of light-matter interaction many approaches have been paving the way to full control of light at the nanoscale. By nanostructuring diverse materials (metal/plasmonic, dielectric, critical media etc…), one aims at nanoscale controlling of amplitude, phase and polarization of the electromagnetic field, possibly leading to diverse application possibilities, like in biosensing, quantum and nonlinear optics, wavefront shaping, data storage and displays.

8. Fully Funded PhD in Disordered cavity for lasing, bio-sensing and fluorescence enhancement

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Photonic cavities play a paramount role in the whole field of optics, ranging from sensing, lasing, harmonic generation or even quantum optics. A variety of configuration is proposed and realized with continuous progressing to improve the light condiment. However, better performance always accompanied with more sophisticated fabrication techniques, which hinders the application at industrial level. On the other hand, the development in disordered photonics may shed light on realizing a cavity with greatly reduced fabrication tolerance.

9. Fully Funded PhD in Motion of Atoms in THz fields

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Changes and reactions of matter require the motion of atoms and electrons from initial to final positions. This happens within femtoseconds for atoms and within attoseconds for electron densities. The method of ultrafast electron diffraction allows to visualize such processes in all four dimensions of space and time. This is made possible by the picometer-sized de Broglie wavelength of keV-electrons, resulting in a ‘4D-movie’ of atoms/electrons in motion.

10. Fully Funded PhD in AI-enabled metasurfaces for enhanced biospectroscopy

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Nanophotonics has revolutionized optics by controlling light propagation on length scales far below the optical diffraction limit, enabling breakthrough applications in energy harvesting, beam shaping, and few-molecule biodetection. To push the limits of light-matter coupling, the project will combine an emerging class of all-dielectric optical metasurfaces [Science 360, 1105 (2018)] with artificial intelligence (AI) methods for nanophotonic design and data analysis [Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 58, 14810 (2019)].

11. Fully Funded PhD in Air quality monitoring using MAX DOAS

Summary of Funded PhD Program

Air quality monitoring has become a very important issue within the last couple of years due to recent events. The ‘Dieselgate’ has raised public concern and the frequent exceedances of the World Health Organization emission standards in many German cities have drawn the public attention towards air quality improvement efforts and regulations.

12. Fully Funded PhD in Mesoporous Nanoparticles for Targeted Drug Delivery

Summary of Funded PhD Program

In our research program we strive to achieve synthetic control over the creation of functional nanostructures and investigate their physical properties. Periodic porous materials such as templated mesoporous materials, metalorganic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks offer a multitude of opportunities to create such nanostructures. This is based on their compositional and topological diversity, the well-defined dimensions of their nanoscale pore systems, and the great variety of possible interface design within the pore system and on the external surface.
