PhD student: Harnessing phase transitions for optical information processing AMOLF in Netherlands

PhD opportunity at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the area of photonic integrated circuits , epitaxial growth , InP-based materials , and compound semiconductors . The project focuses on the foundation of PICs: growing functional materials such as InGaAsP and InAlGaAs using a newest-generation Aixtron epi reactor, then linking growth conditions to electro-optical performance, reliability, yield, and manufacturability. You will investigate the limits of epitaxial growth for InP-base...

The Mechanical Metamaterials and Hypersmart Matter groups at AMOLF are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to investigate how interactions between micromechanical oscillators can generate unconventional forms of material-based computation. The project focuses on arrays of coupled silicon drum resonators, where each resonator can switch between two stable oscillation phases and function as a physical bit. By bringing many of these bistable elements together, the research explores how collective ...
