Electrically Driven Quantum Light Sources from Two-Dimensional Materials University of Southampton in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Sheffield in topological quantum photonics and 2D materials . The project explores how topologically protected light states can be created through strong light-matter interaction with chip-integrated monolayer semiconductors (van der Waals semiconductors). The goal is to develop efficient and robust quantum optical processing and compact quantum photonic devices. The student will work across the research groups of Prof. Dmitriy Krizhanovskii and Prof. Alexand...

This four-year PhD project in advanced signalling and detection in quantum communications explores how quantum communication systems can remain effective when quantum states and communication channels are uncertain. The research will design and optimise resilient quantum signalling constellations for conveying classical information. In particular, the project will investigate constellation designs that maximise minimum trace distance and uniform Holevo-x information, addressing the limits impose...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in van der Waals semiconducting ferroelectrics for programmable on-chip optoelectronics . The project sits in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and is linked to the 2DMINDs research lab , the Sustainable Electronic Technologies research group , and the ECS Centre for Neuromorphic Technologies . You will study how switchable polarisation in van der Waals ferroelectric materials can control light–matter interactions and enable nonvola...

PhD studentship in nanoelectronics at Liverpool John Moores University (School of Engineering and Built Environment), in collaboration with IMEC, Belgium . The project is titled Characterisation of nanoscale semiconductor devices of technology nodes beyond 2 nm for emerging memory and computing applications . It focuses on the characterisation and modelling of nanoscale semiconductor devices for energy-efficient and high-performance computing, including conventional MOSFETs, emerging memristive ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in radiation-resilient memristor-based reservoir computing for autonomous space intelligence . This project explores how memristor-based reservoir computing can enable ultra-low-power onboard intelligence for satellites and other space systems. The research focuses on how space radiation affects memristor dynamics and how to design adaptive mitigation strategies so hardware can continue to compute reliably in harsh environments. Students will work...
