The work will be on development of new and innovative schemes for state-of-the-art trapping, manipulation and characterization by “light only” with pioneering applications in micro-fluidics, biotechnology and nano-materials research.
The research project will specifically focus on using patented optical parallel encoding and modulation techniques for:
- Further developing our fully user-interactive BioPhotonics Workstation
- Implementing all-optically facilitated micro-fluidic lab-on-a-chip units
- Researching on our next generation BioPhotonics Workstation and nano-sensing fully utilising spatial, spectral and temporal properties of dynamically sculpted laser fields
The project will involve collaborative research with leading academic and industrial groups in Europe, Japan and USA.
Qualifications
- PhD degree in physics/optics/electronic engineering obtained within the past few years
- Strong experience in experimental physics, optics, microscopy, electronics and in particular computer-based control and instrumentation.
- Moreover, it will be an advantage if you have experience in micro-fluidics and/or microbiology as well as being familiar with the programming environment of Labview.
We offer
An experimentally oriented research
environment at the forefront of a highly active and competitive area of
science including the potential for commercial spin-off activities.
