List of PhD projects available to new students

The projects listed below are offered without studentships on the understanding that a successful applicant will secure funding to cover tuition fees and living costs from external sources by himself. Additionally, each year the College offers limited number of studentships for home and international students, please check the deadlines (usually February each year) and apply for funding directly [here] .

Active plasmonics

The PhD project involves fabrication and optical characterisation of advanced plasmonic nanostructures and plasmonic circuits. In addition to exciting science, the project will require travelling to collaborating laboratories at Imperial College London and Queen's University Belfast and interactions with industrial partners. For further details contact Professor Anatoly Zayats.

Nonlinear nano-optics

The PhD project involves fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures and their optical characterization using ultrafast optical spectroscopy coupled to scanning probe microscopies. The successful candidate will also engage in the numerical simulations of the systems studied experimentally. For further details contact Dr Gregory Wurtz.
