PhD opportunity in terahertz-frequency quantum-cascade lasers for satellite communications and remote sensing at the University of Leeds

Coming soon: a PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in terahertz photonics , with a project focused on developing integrated terahertz-frequency quantum-cascade lasers for satellite communications and remote sensing . The work will be based in the university’s THz Photonics lab and the Bragg Centre for Materials Research nanotechnology cleanroom , suggesting a strong experimental and device-fabrication component across physics , electrical engineering , and materials science . The opportunity is expected to be open to UK and international candidates . A highly competitive fully funded scholarship from the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering may be available. Eligibility highlights mentioned in the post include a first-class or high upper-second degree in a relevant subject, plus a deep interest in semiconductor lasers , wireless transmission , or remote-sensing technology . The advert is not live yet, so there is no application link at this stage. The poster says they will share again when the official advert is published.
