About this position
This postdoctoral project at EPFL focuses on coupled oscillations in plasmonic crystals and the study of plasmonic oscillations in metallic micro- and nanostructures. The research aims to understand whether these structures can produce plasmonic crystals with broad frequency bands of extraordinary optical transmission across the UV-VIS-NIR range, with potential relevance for photovoltaics, display technologies, OLED lighting, electrochromic devices, and energy-efficient insulating glazing.
The position sits in the SCI-ENAC-AS: Nanotechnology for Solar Energy Conversion research group led by Prof. Andreas Schüler. The group develops novel micro- and nanostructured smart materials for active and passive solar energy applications integrated into the building envelope, with a particular emphasis on thin films and their electronic and optical properties. The role offers the chance to work in a lab environment focused on innovative materials and cutting-edge experimental equipment, within EPFL’s international research setting.
The selected researcher will take full responsibility for original research while working closely with lab members and international collaborators. The project involves designing and executing experiments, analyzing and interpreting results, writing scientific articles, presenting at international conferences, and contributing to teaching and supervision activities.
