About this position

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in polarization effects in antiresonant hollow core optical fibres.

This project sits in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and the world-leading Hollow Core Fibre group. The research focuses on the physics of antiresonant hollow core fibres (AR-HCFs), with an emphasis on polarization, optical fibre design, and the interplay between theory and experiment. The project is especially relevant to students interested in physics, electromagnetism, computational physics, and applied mathematics, with applications spanning data centres, high-power lasers, aerospace, quantum technologies, and space systems.

You will work on developing theoretical frameworks, scaling laws, and predictive models of polarization behaviour; exploring the AR-HCF design space to understand how geometry affects performance; and pioneering polarimetric techniques and experiments that connect observations to theory. The project offers training in analytical and experimental tools and collaboration with industry partners.

Funding: This is a competition-funded PhD project. UK, EU, and Horizon Europe students are eligible for scholarships. Chinese Scholarship Council (CSC) students are eligible for fee waivers. Funding for other international applicants is limited and highly competitive, though applicants with external funding are welcome.

Entry requirements: A 2:1 honours degree or international equivalent is required. An English language qualification is needed if applicable.

How to apply: Submit an online application via the University of Southampton portal. Select Research, 2027/28, Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, full-time or part-time, and programme PhD ORC (7097). Add the supervisor name in section 2 and include your CV, two academic references, transcripts/certificates, and English language evidence if relevant.

Location: Southampton, United Kingdom.
