PhD scholarship in 2D Materials based Integrated Photonics for Future Optical Interconnects

A 3-year PhD position is available in the Structured Electromagnetic Materials group at DTU Fotonik, Department of Photonic Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark. The PhD project is funded by the Danish National Research Foundation, and will be carried out in close collaboration with DTU’s Centre of Excellence in Nanostructured Graphene (CNG) and with Prof. Fengnian Xia’s group at Yale University, where the student will spend a few months as an external stay during the PhD study.

Silicon based optical interconnects offer a promising solution to solve the communication bottleneck faced by the electric interconnects, and intensive efforts have been devoted to developing compact integrated photonic elements including laser source and photodetector.
